Ahh..eureka!
I was looking for M1 near Alnath, so I guess you could say I got the bull by the wrong horn! (sorry, couldn't let that one pass
)
Also I will be much more carefull to keep the finderscope centred, it's been my biggest problem i think.
I see what everyone means about patience, but I think I'm beginning to enjoy the hunt.
cheers
