Podcast: Night-sky targets for June 5-12, 2009
The variable star R Coronae Borealis, open cluster NGC 6124, and globular cluster NGC 6144 are nicely visible in the next few days.

In each episode, Michael highlights:
- One object you can see without any optical aid
- One object you can see with a small (4-inch) telescope
- One object you can see with at least an 8-inch telescope
