Regarding M1 (The Crab Nebula), I tried for about half an hour to find it and I thought to myself at the time, how hard could this be as its only about a degree away zeta tauri.  But difficult it was. Perhaps it's easily affected by the seeing after all  |
Hey Suzy, yes W Oriois is a beauty, but the joy is that it is so easy to find also!! Hmm, the Crab was quite elusive, but have fund it in the past as a small blob, so put it down to the seeing.

You seem to do a good job observing without though

Ha, am sure I will get it up and going in the next few months. I had bought another little grabandgo goto scope last year, so had put quite a bit of time into it. Some of the things I earnt with him will help me with the AN. Look forward to getting it up and going.

I know, Tuesday night was a lonesome beautiful night, and am glad I got out there. Last year was bad all down the east coast, so you are not alone there.
Patience for another 2 months.
