Ah really? I thought perhaps I'd be able to see a bit more detail of Venus. I did look at the Orion nebula tonight as well, wanted to have a look at the constellation up close, I didn't realise there was a nebula there until I said to myself "Why aren't those clouds moving?"
Tried hunting for the Tarantula Nebula because there is a 'Magellanic Cloud' nearby but had no idea where to point the scope, I'll have to pray that the clouds go away sometime.
3am is a bit too late for me due to my random work hours, so Saturn is out for a little bit, and I can't find NGC 253 on that sky map

.
Wondering if I should post in a new thread to continue this, it's gotten a bit off-topic
