Hi all,Just had the first chance to look for M104, Its taken a while due to cloud then DSE burn offs and the greatest tragedy of all my great mate of 13 years Laika a wonderful Weimaraner had to be put to sleep on the 19th april after becoming very sick in the early hours of the morning. On Friday the 20th clear skys greated me early evening so I decided to set the telescope up to see if I could spot the galaxy. After veiwing Saturn for a while it was finaly dark enough and Corvus was high enough to have a go, and wow there it was what a great sight. How lucky could I get so I tried for M83 and wow there it was. So the I turned to NGC5128 (Centaurus A) and oh what a wonderful sight. To cap the evening of I waited for Jupiter to rise above the tree line and even though it was still quite low in the sky and the atmosphere was quite unsteady the view was still quite fantastic. All this and my great mate was not by my side RIP Laika.Thanks all.</p>
