That's a great bag of objects logged there Graham, excellent stuff.
That's where Argo is so good. You could see 4 times more targets than I could in the same time. Did you use tour mode? Not that I know much about how Argo works. I would like to have Argo plus Uranometria and the Observer's Guide series, will have to save up. That won't be easy since we have a wedding to fund this year!! Cheers, Paul.

Thanks guys .. Yes paul thats on a tour of selected constellations .
I had that many again to get through but spent some time trying to solve a small technical problem I engineered

I have become pretty lazy since I got the argo and havn't been happy
with myself about that of late .. Like its great to turn it on and rattle off dozens of objects , but I wasn't planning any observing , which I
thinks is still an important part no matter how much technology you have at hand .

So last night I sat down for a short while before and gave some thought to what was on offer and what I wanted to see .. and planned to record it .

Had a great night out and really enjoyed myself for a change .

That's a very good point Graham. I also would much rather see a smaller number of objects properly, and spend some time at each one, than rattle off 40 or 50. I suppose I'm just impatient at not being able to instantly find things without hunting around. Might get Argo one day, but maybe not for another 6 months or so at least.
