Re observed the New Planetary tonight ,seeing slightly better than last night for just a little while
I was able to get a sort of shape, round broader one end then graduely tapering away no real detail except three stars were seen compared to two last night.
I was able to go to mag x604 using 6mm Radian and 2xBarlow
I then did a Tour of galaxies in Pavo and Grus
Observed the Ring Nebula with the Radian, Barlow, combination, still no central star
Jupiter not as good as last night so decided not to wait for the "Bird strike" to come round.
Cheers
