Thanks for this thread Wey.
My daughter got a the same 130P Dob for Xmas and we've had loads of fun with it. I've read through a lot of the discussion you have engendered and it's been instrumental in helping us understand what's what and where!
I posted the current
run of sights we are doing at the moment in another thread, sounds like you are in the same area. I can highly recommend the double stars in Volans if you're in the area. It's amazing to think you can see something like this in such a small telescope through all the light pollution!
FWIW I have been trying to see M65 and M66 for a couple of nights as the moon is slowing leaving the area, but so far the LP is winning. Maybe I'll have more luck later in the Autumn.
Anyway thanx again - Paul
