How'd everyone go last night???
Best night i had with a scope in a long time...
started in the triangle between Mars, Saturn and Antares and spent a few hours exploring that region, then slowly across to the southern cross and ETA Carinae etc.
to close out I spent an hour or so looking for galaxies towards the northern parts of the skies. saw a couple of wisps in Leo and TRIED to find Markarians Chain, but didn't have much luck.I'm still wondering if i DID see a couple of galaxies or if I tried so hard that i THOUGHT i saw something...
I still need to work on my technique with averted vision and going back to the iPad to reference charts on Skysafari probably didn't help my night vision either...
BUT.......a great night nonetheless. I can't wait for my DGM filters to get here and see some of the nebulas with the filters in place!!
cheers
