Sorry for the delay in getting these here, but with the moon not rising until late it's the perfect time to observe them for the rest of this month!

Read all about this object at the November Observing Challenge page (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/index.php?id=69,251,0,0,1,0).

Post your observation reports and sketches here.

Another one of those so so globs for small scope users (maybe better for large aperture users). Does not resolve in my 76mm f/9 newt or my Orion 80ST even at higher powers though the glob does look grainy with a central core. Resolution is evident in the C6 at 250x with the outer areas showing greater resolution. Core still remains unresolved. Will have to try for this object again with the C6 and the Radian :)
