Last night I went a bit further south west to darker skies and saw a bunch more stuff!! I saw the Lagoon nebula and the other nebula that is to the west of it (cant remember the name). I also saw the butterfly cluster purely by chance while scanning pretty quickly across the sky! There is another cluster pretty close by this area starts with P I think, cant remember but I saw it too. Actually last night I saw a whole heap of stuff, pretty stoked! I really need to do some work on a parallelogram mount tho, my neck is killing me during these sessions from a tripod! :S Youre right Jimmy, that NGC 6231 is really nice looking hey!

<Edit>
Turns out the P cluster is Ptolemys cluster (AKA M7) so it seems I already saw it Jimmy, I just didnt know! hehe... It didnt look too impressive tho, NGC 6231 is was cooler looking in my oh so humble opinion!
