Hi Glen, sounds like you had a fantastic night of observing.
Last night I was observing in my backyard with my 10 inch dob, concentrating on the Orion constellation. Wow, a great night with good transparency and seeing! I could clearly see the red wing tips of the Orion Nebula contrasting with its green central core.
The only downer was the light pollution! There is nothing like a good night of observing and contemplating the universe, therapy in its highest form. I'm glad you had a spectacular night!
Clear Skies
Joe
