Andrew... the storms did'nt happen here in Qld tonightand just got in from a night of looking up!!!
I just got my 8" dob a couple of weeks ago and have not had the opportunity to view 47TUC until tonight!
It took me a good hour or so finnding it (due to trees and light pollution) but its good to know I was observing the right thing....due to your pic.
nice one! Guy
