Hi all,
Well i didn't get much observing done, but what i did see impressed me no end. Had a crack at m42 even though the moon is so full. Still plenty to see with averted vision and easily made out 5 stars in the trapesium. Checked out a few nice open clusters near southern cross and then onto the doubles in the cross.WOW i couldn't believe the seperation. I remember looking through the little 4.5" Tasco years ago and being able to split them but this was incredible. Then of course had to check out the moon. Apart from being blinded for 1/2 hour after it was breathtaking. Actually showed the young fellow it using eyepiece projection. But alas now you can't even view the moon for the fog. Yep fogged out. Not cloud just fog as thick as pea soup! Ah well try tomorrow night.
Cheers,
Duncan
