Lovely report Suzy.
So glad you nabbed 5128. It is a little tricky to get hopping from Omega Cent. I remember last year having a few attempts, but when I had done 3 or 4 times, I could get there without checking an atlas!. Keep looking over the next few months, I know last year as it was higher each night it became better, shortly you will be able to see the patterns in the dust lanes as your eye get used to the target.
Gamma Velorum is a lovely double, also one of my favourites, interesting to think as a Wolf Rayet star it is one of the most energetic stars you can see naked eye. I also believe it is a system of 6 stars!
3132 has been a bit of a bugbear, always have trouble locating it, so welcome to the club!
