47 Tucanae

Hi all! I was out observing last night, the presence of the full moon limited my targets. I observed Sirius first to try and split it to see the Pup. Just was not happening last night, atmosphere was not too steady and high humidity.

The highlight was NGC 107 ( 47 Tucanae). Splendid sight in my 10 inch dob. I tried a very high magnification of 480x and was rewarded with the 3D sight of thousands of stars floating above the glowing core, with what looked like a close double star within the cluster prominent. Just amazing! Happy observing all!

Joe
