Saturn is now low in the southwest and for the early evening the only planet visible. The summer triangle is now high overhead where the planetary nebulae M27 - the Dumbbell Nebula (in Vulpecula) and M57 - the Ring Nebula (in Lyra) may be found. The globular clusters M56 and M71 are also in this region. The open cluster M29 can be found in Cygnus.
