Deep Sky Observations
5 Oct 2019, midnight to 2am
Observed with a 30cm Saxon Dob and an 11mm Explore Scientific 82 deg EP (135x, 35’ field).
No goto, star hopping is much faster than a goto.
Light pollution to the north around M31, from the Gold Coast, and trees to the SW and SE.
A courtyard protected me from the 20 km/hr wind.
Saw 51 galaxies in this order. (NGC numbers)
