Well, the sky was perfectly clear and so Titan seemed possible...firstly, the moon was very close last night and really impressive; possibly better than any other time I've looked at it! My daughter snapped a great photo of it through the eyepiece in her Iphone! A mate and I searched the skies for Neptune (which took a long long time!) Seeing was not good and it was real fuzzy! I think we saw Triton, but it was so faint that it was hard to tell for sure. I have certainly seen Neptune better than that....oh well...we then kept going, looking at deep sky objects: the Orion Nebula was breath-taking!

Does anyone know how well Andromeda looks in an 8"? Lastly, I downloaded Astro Panel onto my android tablet which gives detail about seeing conditions etc...is a really handy tool!
