Hopefully that will all change soon as the C8 is now set up at the our beach house and I'll have a clear view across the ocean to the North right to horizon's edge and a dark sky as well. I'm eagerly looking forward to finally getting to view this elusive galaxy.

cheers
I wish you well Ric

Andromeda certainly wasn't spectacular - just a smudge really. Nothing like the brochure.....

Tarantula was great last night too though the 8", 2x Barlow and a 2" 32mm Plossl. It really was fun last night.

I know what you're saying, because that's what I say about Sombrero.
