Hey DJ if you're still planing on coming out to Ron's place next weekend ie the 13th (and I can't recommend highly enough that you do!
) we'll find you some galaxies mate. Even if you haven't got the HEQ5 set up right for photography yet come along anyway and you can have a look through some scopes in the 8" to 16" range at a hole bunch of stuff.
Occasionally some really big scopes come along like the 25" dob of Willliam ("Argo Navis") or the 30" dob that belongs to Peter, both are "local" IIS members.
