The night of the 24th had a brief session with Big Blue. Seeing wasn't particularly good and there was marine haze; the nearly full moon didn't help. Had a look at Mars 277x with the apodizing mask and planetary filter, and had a good view of Styris Major and some other features which covered most of the visible globe, given the planet's inclination.
I poked around Lyra a bit, including of all things M57. One double star observation:
BU 648: In diffraction but steady disk of B within it, 2" 3 delta mag. [Several other fainter & wider pairings.]
18H 57M 01.61S +32° 54' 04.6" P.A. 236.7 SEP 1.31 MAG 5.34,7.96 SP G0V DIST. 14.87 PC (48.51 L.Y.)
And that was about it!
