M52 & M103
Hi Glen,
Seems you had a great time.
I've got some very pleasant memories of binocular observing a couple of times from the Whitsunday Islands where I also bagged M52, 103 and the Double Cluster (NGC 869 & 884) using 10x50s and 15x70s.
Still got a handful of Messiers to go -- M81, 82, 40, 97, 101 I think. Must do it again some time -- it is a wonderful part of the world.
What was your impression of NGC 1499 (the California Nebula)? I've only seen it once with the 18" -- and the "problem" it has is in getting a big enough field. I detected several "edges" but couldn't see the whole thing.
... and congrats Rex.
Best,
Les D
