I had good conditions from 2100 -2230 last night. Cloud rolled in just after 2230. Used the mask to resolve 32 Orion - lovely clear split. Also I noticed that with the mask, the E & F stars in the trapezium were clearer and more distinct than without. I could see both at full aperture and they were a lot brighter but the F star was being outshone by the C star and not as easy to pick up without the mask.
