Thanks Marc. I get the feeling that more exposure and good seeing might reveal some detail in a couple of the bigger fuzzies.

Yep, I guess that's the cause of the reddish brown colour

Thanks Marcus. You are right about the stars. It won't be hard to do this--just have to be subtle enough so that old eagle eye Sidonio doesn't notice. Watch this space.

Thanks very much Marco. I wonder why it's gone unnoticed. It's a reasonable size in an accessible part of the sky to most of the world.

Interesting set of names: Marc, Marcus, Markus, Marco
