Two weeks ago I attended the NNSF (Northern Nights-Lights Star Fest). This event is held under dark sky in northern Minnesota. We saw amazing aurora on multiple nights of this star party. However, the object of the party for me was NGC 6781. It is sometimes referred to as the Snow Globe planetary nebula. I observed this object with my friend's 18" Teeter telescope. Obviously, Aquila is positioned nicely right now. This is a large, but faint nebula. I believe I would have no chance of seeing this object in a small scope or even under slightly light polluted skies.
