Hi Intergage

I have had quite some success with Jupiter, it seems quite easy to find where I am, Mars not as good as Jupiter and Saturn, but I have missed the best opportunities to cloudy skies unfortunately. Good luck with those Nebulae, make sure you let us now if you have some success.

Cheers.
