Hi Rob & All,
Well congratulations not only on the excellent report but on having seen those objects in what is a pretty small 'scope -- very impressive. In fact you've almost "picked the eyes out" of my Nov/Dec 2008 column !!
I'm particularly impressed that you saw NGC 246, which is one of my all-time favourite PNe -- mainly because the superimposed star-pattern makes it look so 3-D.
MMmmm ... NGC 134 -- lovely! I can still remember the first time I ever saw a 13th magnitude galaxy (using my old 25cm years and years ago) -- it was NGC 131 adjacent to 134, immediately N of a largish five-of-diamonds pattern of 10th and 11th mag stars.
Well done!
Les D
