I skipped straight to 32 Orionis... a nice one and easily split despite poor seeing. 52 was harder but glimpsed as double at 450X, two little Airy disks touching (Dawes limit for this scope is 0.5 arc sec). Should be straightforward in decent seeing.

First decent look at the moon too through this beastie... awesome. Might have a go at rigging up a camera sometime given the planets in a few months time.

Didn’t hang around though as it’s a horrible night 30 degrees and 90% humidity.
