thanks guys. Took advantage of the conditions, my plan of hunting galaxies went up in smoke and didn't see a single one the whole time. Rare to get a crisp ball with Uranus at 250x let alone 400x plus. These tiny objects are often smudged too much, even by minimal seeing disturbance.

I've said it before, I looovve an 8" f/6 dob for planet hunting.

Taking it to 600X! That's stupendous.
If I were to place a bet beforehand, I'd be a poorer man right now
