nice work with the purchase Colin.

with jupiter it is nice to see little events such as the moons disapearing behind the disc, or casting shadows on the surface. although jupiter is quite low and giving poor views this season.

be sure to grab mars before it gets too small.

i think most people have ticked off the highlights mine are:

omega centauri, 47 tuc, the LMC heaps in there!, SMC, Cent A, sombrero, anything in Sagittarius, eta carina, M42, southern pleiades, the Saturn nebula (it appears a greenish hue - colour is rare in deep space stuff) and grabbing a few bright double stars is nice too.

cheers
