An impressive array of targets, SAB, congrats on the excellent night you had. Lots of things there I'll never glimpse, I suspect. I was out at Snake Valley Sat overnight. The sky was superb. We leveled out at -6 deg! Only a little low fog coming and going. When I looked at the Trapezium with Orion still relatively low, the E & F stars just jumped out, very clearly resolved. I don't think I've seen resolution on them that good before now! Thrilling. With a borrowed Ethos 13mm, saw stars resolved in 47 Tuc to the core! And so much detail in NGC 253. A great night, for sure!
