I was driving home from work at 12:45am and it was total overcast. This supposed "fine" week is turning into the traditional Melbourne climatic f**kup. I just want Saturday night to be clear - for the whole night for once!
NGC 247 WILL be a challenge, it's faint in my 10", and this scope is fully flocked and was sporting a flocked dewshield! My suggestion is stare long and hard, use averted vision, block external straylight. Doug, what size scope do you use for your DSO hunting?
