Hi all,
Well i'm enjoying the new scope, but the moon is a pain in the proverbial.
I managed to see all the doubles in the cross tonight. One of which is a triple system from what i could tell. At 334x i could only just get the actual double, seeing is not real good at the moment. Last night i got to see Jupiter at about 11pm, and could make out 6 bands quite clearly at 167x with a couple of moons. Lets not leave out Saturn and 2 moons tonight. Nice globular just to the east of the cross but moonglow stuffed viewing that for long. A couple of open clusters just west and south of the cross. Took a look at the Orion nebula, green tinge to it until it got to low, and 5 stars in trapezium.
Eta carinae and Keyhole?, looked good anyway. Well thats about it as the fog has rolled in again.
Cheers
