M 56



Photo by Pittendreigh

HOW TO FIND IT:



Use the same two guide stars that led to M57, Beta and Gamma Lyrae. Don't look between them, however. Draw a line from Beta, through Gamma, and continue to a point about half way between Gamma Lyrae and Beta Cygni.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR:

M56 has a rich star field.
