[QUOTE=davewaldo;227166]Congrats on your 100th Messier Ron. Well done! [/QUOTE
Thanks Dave, I found two more tonight M97, The Owl Planetary Nebula, and M 108 ,a spiral galaxy.
I thought I couldnt see them from my observatory, but Wes (Zubanel) when I showed him M101 said that M97 could be also visible and also M108,so three Messiers in 2 nights
They where not visible in the 8" because of the hight of the walls of the observatory so I never thought to try in the 16"
