There was a cold 25kph NW wind blowing this morning. I decided not to open the roof of the observatory, opting to roll the 12" scope out to the SE side instead. It wasn't too bad out of the wind.
I have been working my way through a list of 200 (non Magellan Clouds) Dunlop objects and ticked off another 5 today, NGCs 1531-2, 1792, 1808, 1851 and 2090. I only have a few more Dunlop objects to go.
I also looked at M31-32-110, M33, the PNe NGC 1360 and 15 galaxies in Fornax. NGC 1365 was the best that I have seen it. After that I looked at Comet Boattini and saw a tail at least 40' long. My final object was the PNe M76, it was low in the north just above Brisbane's sky glow.
