Yep not much hope for DSO's, and open clusters are dull. The jewel box is not so sparkly.. I haven't sussed out filters yet but I see from other threads they can help. Ironically though, last night I saw the Ghost of Jupiter for the first time, and in the same part of the sky as the nearly full Moon, thanks to the Argo Navis telling me where it was There were no stars visible nearby at all.
