a couple that stick out in my mind.....
- 47 Tuc through my 12.5" dob using the 31mm Nagler ~ 60x and 1.34 degree field framed the glob perfectly filling the field and still well resolved at the core (remember this dhumpie?) at Cambroon last year
- The Grus Quartet through my 12.5" dob and the 31mm Nagler from Leyburn ... love those contemplation moments while gazing at a multiple galaxy field
- M104 through an excellent 22" F5.7 Galaxy mirror at Leyburn at the start of the year (think it was a 20mm Nagler eyepiece)
- Thor's helmet through a 30" (Robbos30) - the power of 30" in bringing out the structure in the nebula at Leyburn (same night as the obs above)
- The Veil nebula through my 12.5" dob at Duckadang last month using a 19mm Pan and an OIII filter
- Seeing spiral arms in NGC1365 in my 12.5" for the first time ... very chuffed that is was actually possible.
- and of course the Milkyway from horizon to horizon naked eye at Leyburn
