For this September I've wrote a new article with objects to observe for this month. In this article I discuss some nice objects that can be seen in the constellations Aquila, Cygnus. Draco and Vulpecula.
You can download a copy on my website: http://d.ramakers.googlepages.com/
Feedback is appreciated!

Nice article, Demelza!
I hadn't browsed your sketch gallery in a while either -- you've been quite busy. 
Cheers,

Thank - You for this work. You're a good writer. I saved a copy for later personal use. Just in case I finally get a telescope.

Saving to buy my first scope. Being disabled, saving comes slow. I do own 2 EP's: a GSO 20mm superview plossl with 70 fov and a Vixen NLV 12mm...both were clearance bargain items.

demelza - your article is wonderful! I too, know how much time it takes to write articles and put together all the charts / proper information / etc., for them. You've really done a nice job. If you don't mind, I'd like to put a link on my website to yours - the articles you write are a great "step up" from the "introduction to the night sky" ones I write.

Under B33 you list the object as magnitude 8.4, Dark Nebula are not rate on a magnitude scale but an Opacity scale 1 thru 6 with 1 being the least and 6 being the most opaque.
B33 is rated as having an Opacity of 4.

No problem!
@Chris: What do you mean? Dark nebula indeed don't have a magnitude. I haven't put B33 in this article? Only the dark nebula B142.
