had another crack at NGC5189, hard to see tonight.

Omega centauri, tarantula, ngc55, ngc300, scultor galaxy, helix nebula

Finished off with m6 and m7. Started packing up and thought i will ask the lovely wife, does she want to see some 3 or 4 things. Out she came and i was very happy to show her a set of the above. She loves the new ultra wide 30 deg, it is her favourite.

Will study up on a few of the challenges for another night

Sounds like a very productive night Dave, especially for the missus!

Wish I had some clear sky. Well done!
