Top report!

Hi Doug & All,

Good report mate -- seems like a busy night.

Interesting notes on the colour of Uranus and Neptune -- we all see colour very differently plus we all have different telescopes and EPs with different characteristics and coatings etc ...

In my 10, 12 and 18, Uranus to my eyes looks greenish/yellow while Neptune looks bluish/green ... but I think nearly everyone sees it differently.

Yep, M11 is be a teriffic object in a 4" refractor under a dark sky. I remember how it looks in a friends Tak FSQ 106 at x70 -- stunning!

Best,

Les D
