Thanks Paul.
I know about the feelings about the Caldwells, but to me it's just another list of objects, and I acknowledge the primacy of NGC/IC or other designations by using that name then the Caldwell or Hartungs reference in brackets.
I have found looking for triangles on charts to be a very simple way of navigating. Elongated one's work best as they are easy to use for direction when mentally flipping from chart to eyepiece.
Last night had aome nice sky, but had jobs to do so stayed indoors after 2 nights in a row at the eyepiece. Weather has caught up with us now, lots of clouds tonight, but hopeful will get a nice night on Saturday!
