Nice one Ron, 15th mag! wow!
I didnt set up last night due to the wind... I tried on saturday night but was defeated by wind, I did do perhaps an hour or two of visual observing with the C11, and seeing/transparency were good.. I was able to split the trapezium to all 6 stars with 30mm and a 2x barlow, and with the same ep+barlow, I spent some time on NGC7331, I made out 7335 and 7337 fleas, but couldnt make out 7336 or 7340.. I also saw for the first time "Stephan's Quintet" in a 10mm ep.. It wasnt much to look at, due to the fact that I was gazing over my house roof, which was causing some heat haze effects..
I think the storms rain did wonders for the quality of the sky, Just hoping for a clear night with a light breeze rather than a howling wind!
I dont ask for much!
