Lovely report Paul. 1532 + 1 are favourites of mine the small one diving into the heart of the larger. Great to hear that you're finding the Argo Navis so useful. I like your description of M2 also -e specially the 3-d sense.

When you talk about your favourite ep for galaxies, it reminds me of a post by Les Dalrymple in which he said that the optimum exit pupil for galaxes is 2. Your 12 mm would give 2.4 - abetter fit with this rule than your 17mm. Your 9 mm could be even better if this rule is all that applies.
