Thank you Alex for your kind words..
Indeed the skies have been mostly lousy here in Sydney and a bit West as well...need to re- attempt 52 Orionis.

If you get a chance to try one or two thats great.. let us know how you went...your 80mm FPL 53 Triplet alone, should do well on nearly all of these.

Problem I have, is selecting a Constellation thats not too far North for people in Melbourne and Tassie say...its too low, and they have to deal with a thick atmosphere, its refraction effects and turbulance etc

Also, just getting people with a lot of mental Inertia to Doubles, to see how nice some of these doubles actually are...is a task!

Cheers bigjoe.
