Well I've had an enjoyable night. Jupiter as i mentioned before - it was good with a 15mm, but too much mag with the 9mm (I guess because of low altitude?) Next was 47 Tuc, which blew my socks off - more mag the better it got. Andromeda and the Triangulum Galaxies were not quite what i expected but still pretty cool - made out the dust lane in A and perhaps a hint of structure in TG, I think the Sculptor was more impressive at first sight.
Orion was gobsmacking
I knew it would be!
Tarantula Neb was great for detail as well.
I tried the rosette, and the cone but I couldn't see them. Is that to be expected?
Learned that I will need patience, and experience in first finding objects (nearly gave up looking for the sculptor) and teasing more detail out of them (I noticed more in the Orion and Tarantula Nebs each time I looked at them.
Oh yeah, and an eye-patch would be grouss - I will make one of those me thinks
