Nice report Ving , I got out myself last night as well . Nothing really structured or planned just happy to get out finally with the scope .This was enhanced by the balmy conditions which called for for a few bottles of ale {it was St Patties day
} and the wearing of boardies.Spent most of the time with my 20x80 binoculars and using the handy Cambridge star atlas .I enjoy this time of the year with the hunter descending into the west, the southern cross and the carina area getting higher and scorpius rising in the east later in the evening. Sweeping the Carina area through binos or the scopes with low power is always a treat even with the moon gradually lighting the evening as it gained height .One highlight using the binoculars was the central and tail region of Scorpuis with NGC6242/ngc6231
