Hi Sab,
It seems a long time between reports. The crappy weather definitely hasn't been on our side for months. Clear nights are a bit precious.
You're dead right about higher magnification helping to reveal faint galaxies. I've gone from using the 17mm for a wide field look and the 12mm for a closer examination to using the 12mm first and then the 7mm or 5mm if seeing permits. Even if the seeing is mush, clear moments come and go, so I've had to learn patience and just persist!! The difference higher magnification makes with faint galaxies is sometimes quite amazing. Observing from suburbia means we need all the help we can get.
Cheers, Paul.
