	RA: 20:24 Dec: +38.32 Magnitude: 7.1 Distance: 4000 ly Constellation: Cygnus	Scope: 8" SCT at f/10 Autoguider: ST-4 in faint mode Sky conditions: clear, with good transparency and seeing Camera: Hutech modified Canon 300D ISO800 Exposure: 8 x 5 minutes Date: September 24, 2006
	Comments: A rather coarse and less impressive cluster, situated in the highly crowded area of the Milky Way near Gamma Cygni. The brightest stars of M29 form a "stubby dipper". This shot was done while waiting for the moon to set and get on to the longer exposures planned for the evening. It was shot almost 5 years to the day after the film image.
