Thanks BD for the tips. Clouds come in now.. so I doubt I'll be able to get out for a couple of days
But the nebulas.. orion at 5am.. doubt it.. i work 7 days a week so waking up at 5am is not gonna happen

I tried to get LMC and SMC yesterday but ended up heading outside too late so couldn't see past the back fence
asi.. the mrs knows now that she's not to come into the backyard when i'm out.
