Clear skies finally!!! First chance to give the scope a really good work out and it didn't disappoint... 3 mag 13 galaxies all before 8pm!! WOW!

Ok, for sure they are only little smudges, but hey! I'm happy!

Well done with the faint fuzzies, especially in town. It doesn't take much stray light to make those critters hide. Probably a bit of frostbite too looking at temps for down your way!

Woohooo way to go Grant! :thumbsup:

I hope your eye socket didn't stick and freeze to the eye piece though... :face:

yeah... but you're in Canberra, that doesn't count !

Anyway.. the magellanic clouds and Omege Cen are the 3 galaxies I can see from my home :D

I am only 500m from Canberra Hospital, so there is a bit of light pollution! No where near Sydney or Melbourne, I admit.

Still, I am stoked! Mag 13 with a 9.25" :)
