Thanx again all,

Tried M104 on Saturday night - V easy to find, esp. with the 'pointing' stars.

Again the 25mm gave a better 'overall' view than the 10mm - maybe this will change when the sky gets darker?

I was able to see the 'larger' piece of M104 (lets call it the TOP) without being able to resolve the seperation from the 'bottom'

When looking at the 'pointing' stars I was able to see all 4 bright stars making a reversed L shape plus two faint stars under this plus one other star that I can't find in Stellarium - any takers? (see attached file)

Thanx

Andrew
