^^ wow if Centaurus A is that good in 10x50 glasses then I guess I should weld my socks to my legs I have sketched it using the 4.5" reflector (which seems to be next to impossible to collimate) and at 121x in that scope I have two halfs separated by a wide gap with a single star involved.

I wanted to go out this morning I overslept. No thanks to my dad who didnt let me sleep after last nights session just to send me shopping

so I went 2 days without sleep until now.

Next on my hit list is the Spindle Galaxy, M83, NGC 5128, NGC 4945, NGC 3201, Centaurus Cluster and a couple of other galaxy groups in Centaurus. I'm just busting to get out there! Tonight will be clear so its gonna be a sunset-sunrise marathon. The sky is already an excellent deep blue so transparency should be tops once again.

If my scope can pull galaxies of 13th magnitude in my mag 4.5-5 skies, then from a 6-6.5 dark sky site how deep could I go? 14th? 14.5?
