Thanks for all the suggestions.
If the clouds ever decide to go on holidays and give me a chance to use the scope, I should have enough objects to keep me busy for a few nights, but please dont stop the suggestions. Its great to be able to go out of a night with a plan of attack so to speak. When everyone goes out observing, do they have a plan of what they intend on looking at or do you find yourself playing it by ear?

I manages to get an hour or so the other night and had a look at tuc47. Wow..... It was stunning. The next clear night I,ll definately be going back to it.
With the 10" dob, what is the "dimmest?", "highest magnitude?" I can expect to see, with say medium/good seeing, in resonable dark skies?
Anyone want to bet that Sat and Sun night are perfect seeing conditions? (I,m on night shift )
Congrats on the site Iceman. It's shaping up to be a great resource for the Aussie observers. Keep up the excellent work.
