old thread, but an interesting one.
Saturn Nebula at 953x in the 12"...the ansae were not thin extentions, they were aircraft runways, M17 at high power with an OIII, absolutely spectacular. One of my all time favourite nebulae. M8 doesn't have a leg to stand on compared to M17.
Observing from Renmark, spectacular skies....seeing the 3D multi-layered Magellanics glistening through the trees was amazing.
