Dumbbell Nebula is a favorite - this was my first deep space object, observed about eight years ago. This night it looked really well, just as bright to perfectly show its contour. Sometimes it has a shape like a brick but not today.
This night was exceptionally clear, NELM was rather 4.7. I was experimenting with using black and blue pens for annotations.
