30 minutes with 10x50 binoculars for me at midnight.

Looked at M31 (almost invisible large smudge). Tried to find M15, but couldn't. I'm sure I starhopped correctly - top left star of the square of Pegasus, bunny hop in a curving arc and it should be right where it wasn't. Quick glance up, 47 Tuc was naked eye, so I must have been lost. I was looking back towards Melbourne, and it was awash with light pollution.

Fixed some rattly spouting at 1am (it was blowing last night) and went to bed.
