thanks for the list steve. That jewel box is an amazing little cluster, can't wait to see it under a really dark sky. I got to watching the binary in centaurus there, the left one I think. I was trying to measure it's separation somehow but I needed to work out the field of view in my 13mm, I have a formula now so will try again. I also found that little red star above gamma crux ( I think it is) Not easy to see but worth the hunt. At the moment I am using a little 90mm celestron mak but should have a C11 up soon if I can get an EQ6 from the boys on the gold coast. Then we will have some fun.

I see you have a get together there up near Malany, I will be up at Leyburn that weekend with the SAS, I'm a new member there. Have a good one and catch ya soon.
