Some new notches to add.
- lagoon nebula. At least I think it was. There was a dark lane between the two parts and looked like a near by open cluster that could have been part of the nebula itself.. Could have been the triffid.
- m83. Again this was very faint. More like a smudge. Didn't get to see any spiral structure
maybe it was something else but I'm pretty sure this was I the right location. There was a star in the middle of a very faint circular cloud. Even averted vision wouldn't bring out the spiral. These galaxies are becoming more of an obsession and a collecting thing than they are for pure pleasure. Haha
