At last, first decent night of new Scorpius season

Got out tonight, got 2.5 hours of pretty good viewing before the white stuff rolled in.
Knocked over 10 NGC's all new to me and an IC, cruised the Leo Triplet, had a wander around the Virgo cloud, not properly finding target just cruising galaxies. Tried out my new 8mm Stratus (187x) on the Homonculus, easy to see both wings really clearly, very pleasing.
Got very nice view of M83, big and bright tonight. Then crusied around Scorpius a bit.
Detailed report will follow.
