Thank Glen,

Boy what a frst light , I was like a kid with a new toy... still trying to of
observe well after moon rise. Still trying to suss out the Argo Navis, which
seems quite intuitive. They was quite a list of objects covered and the
seeing around 6-7/10 and a 70 knot jetstream over head. The stand outs
were 47 Tuc, the Veil and it's stringy filaments, Grus tripplet
looking a lot more the just whisps or smudges:thumbsu p:, The Saturn neb
with appendage sneaking in, the Dumbbell how bright are those ears, the
Ring, and a myrid of NGC numbers I cant recall. Planets Neptune, Uranus
and Jupiter were also observed. The extra aperture really brings out the
colours in o'l Jup's equatorial belts but no GBS (Great Beige Spot).

Here is a few setup pics

regards,CS
