Silvie & Guys,
thanks. Yes it was a great day to catch this, and despite the moon I was happy.
Mick, I had trouble actually seeing it as well, and eventually flopped the 30mm widefield into the rear of the scope just to make sure, as the first few frames were of nothing at all, I was in the wrong spot. It was hard to see with the 80mm scope, so this coupled with the nearly full moon made it more memorable.
If the weather clears I will try it again.
The cluster is naked eye, at roughly mag 3 or so, and Linear at about 7 - 8 mag.
Gary
