Start hopping from Vega in Lyra constellation hop to-->star 2-->
many bright stars; which have no assigned number; help to point to star 90 in Hercules constellation,
from star 90 & 91 hop to star 75, 69 & 67. On north of this group of stars,
there are star mag5 & 5.5 formed as a base line of triangle which M92 located
at the top, try to center at M92, but the base stars were extended out off FOV of finder scope !
I used scan technic to find the location of M92.
I recorded " it quite hard to spot at last FOV of finder scope due to lack of
bright guide stars. It has to use triangle estimation technic and make scan in
specific area at the top of triangle, not hard to find M92 as it quite bright".
I think M92 should be seen via finder scope. I have to confirm the star hopping later on.
This is a quite hard hopping session.
(in foot note, I recorded "star hopping start from Vega-->Albireo...",it was totally confused)
At eyepiece, M92 appeared as bright, round, small, very bright, lack of nearby
bright stars.
Refer to text: high concentration, large, very bright, extend 110 ly.
