So I've got my friend's 10" Dobsonian on loan as she has moved to Canberra and couldn't take it with her straight away. It was nice clear skies on Saturday night so I begged my boyfriend to let me take it out and promised to find some nice looking objects for him, having anticipated his awe for months and months.
Alas, I seem to be a bit rusty and failed miserably at finding very much at all. I managed to find Jupiter (and Europa, Callisto and Io), M6 Butterfly cluster, M7 and M4. I was really hoping to impress him with some more objects but I guess it just wasn't my night
Oh well, better luck next time! (when the clouds clear that is...)
