Yes I knew it would be really low. Not to worry though as you all have Eta Car, LMC, SMC 47tuc and a very high Omega Centauri.
I will make it back there someday, a magical sky to be sure.
I very much enjoyed the comment on 'I unfriended that object' Love it! Very funny but I can relate.
So I consider it key that the thing being observed at your limits move with the scope movement and for really limit-challanged objects I keep my eyes closed for 10 minutes and use a hood to have the very best chance to see it but that too is often just not enough so as you say ... at some point I am forced to 'unfriend' such objects.
Thanks for allowing a northerner to sit in on this great IIS board when I get the chance.
