*Includes links to more information about each object.  Lots of these are visible for viewing with binoculars, as the caption points out. 

It's a great area to "sweep" -- especially if you're able to get away from streetlights.  Just viewing the Milky Way alone, high overhead in the summer, is fantastic in and of itself.

Enjoy.
