July 7th, Tanabata. How many years have you seen the Milky Way on a sunny night on Tanabata? I enjoyed the starry sky seen from Matsudaira, Hitachiota City with binoculars, thinking that this might be the last time.

M20 video 2022-03-10 (in twilight) Neptune C-II (2x2binning) 1s exposure. The back is a little bright, but you can see the dark structure of the M20’s three fissures and the red Hα region at the bottom left. The field of view is too small to fit in the whole.
