Hi All,

Because the weather is looking good and im not feeling sick im gonna head out to mums for a bit of old school telescope therapy.
No batteries no motors no backbreaking mounts or scopes.
My old manual EQ3 and my 6" reflector

Time from sunset till bout 8pm (moon rise)
sky north / eastern based
Targets
Saturn
M3
M5
M4
Antares
M10
M12
M16

anything else that grabs my eye e.g. Eta Carina

should make for a good night.

Im looking forward to July 2 hopefully it will be clear, it was forecast to be clear a week ago, not now :(

Add these:
NGC 6397
NGC 6752

Much nicer than most of the Messier globs! :)
