Not many sights as splendid as Omega Centauri and 12" with a 13mm Nagler is a great way to view it. Well done on finding these targets and also on stunning your in-laws. Seeing the dark lane of NGC 5128 is not your imagination and even though you have some serious light pollution as you keep observing galaxies you will see more and more detail.

It does make a huge difference having a list of targets and you will learn lots of sky and observing skill this way.

Thanks for a great read Pat. It's lovely to share your evening and your well-described excitement. Hope you post some more reports soon.
