Michael-Wow

some very nice descriptions through such a small scope.nice work on ngc 2516 ,just wondering if you or anyone else knows how to actually distinguish the doubles as i have no idea.
I admire your determinination to see rigels companion,especially through your scope,people say its difficult to see it with a scope smaller than 150mm but i have seen it many times through my 130mm.
Regarding ic335 and ngc 121,i think they are just way too faint for your scope but you can still try.
My first view of mars was just a blur but if you see my description about a day or two later in good seeing its absolutely amazing, i am looking forward to trying to do a sketch to show you guys what i can see.Keep trying you will be amazed if you get good conditions.
Malcolm-Very nice descriptions

,especially ngc 2516(so detailed).
keep up the good work
