thanks Alex. seeing was in the pits, the nebula was actually swimming like a flag in a breeze. Didnt get anywhere near the magnification I hoped for. Just use a pencil tip, in this case a 2B (whatever is lying around the house!) But yeah a good view with nice contrast, happy with that. I was once able to use 260x or so with a 12" in great seeing, that was a nice view.
