dso observations
Love these reports Sab!
Must try for some of the ones in Hydra that you chose from near Penrith.
Noticed again , time schedules etc, that you've picked the gem in Fornax NGC 1365; some say you can detect the bar in 6", but overlooked say NGC 1097, which to me in Sydney I find easier to detect- these are both loverly barred spirals and a fair amount of detail can be seen in 12"+; but you've done this all with a modest aperture these days of 8"-well done!!
Just goes to show what can be accomplished at dark sites with a nice dob etc and patience!
Wished more would give these detailed reports so we know what we can expect to see.
