Every summer provides opportunity to see the wonders of the southern skies. The Swan is one of my favorites. In an EP with a medium scope, the distinct shape and apparent density make it an exciting object to observe. When I get a chance to view it with color astro video tools and sketch it in living color, it is a showstopper. The flaming pinks and reds with whites, the shapes of the parts of the object, and the variety of transitions--some gentle and some abrupt--make it a challenge yet fun to record. It is a privilege to observe it again...and it was a good evening to give thanks.
