My luck was defiantly in!
Things cleared considerably around one am and I watched in amazement as the multitude of stars that make up M41 drifted across the sky. A quick glance to the north east and Saturn was up. In went the 6mm and I was struck absolutely dumfounded, so surreal, it felt if someone had put a sticker on the mirror and was playing tricks on me. Amanda’s annoyance at being awoken from a deep slumber quickly evaporated to astonishment of what she was actually seeing. Defiantly need a better focuser.
Finished things off by hunting down the Tarantula Nebula. Can only just see the LMC from here so I eventually stumbled across it by dumb luck.
What a way to spend an evening at home.
So much to see.
So much to learn.
Have just about talked Amanda into going to Lockstock, even though we will have to leave first thing Saturday morning.
All the best for Christmas
