Unfortunately the bright Moon ruined that for her, but i still managed to see Orions nebulae, and the Pleiades for the first time Even managed to see M79 which was almost directly above me, although it killed my neck trying to line it up in the finder!
Anyways thanks for reading, and i look forward to many more sleepless nights ahead.

Welcome Chris

Did you get a chance to view the moon as well or was you zipping around the sky as fast as you can while the viewing is great.

I seem to do that.

Anyway sleepless nights seem to be the norm around here.

Cheers Kev.
