Bart:I recognize you're avtar, but dont remember the story (read so many posts lately), I hope things have improved. I think we were just dead lucky on our first night out, it hasn't been that good (seeing) since. BUT we have found the lagoon nebula and the triffid!. (I traded the stock 6mm eyepiece for an OIII filter, so got to test that out too), also tested the 9mm Nagler (finally arrived via ebay), a bit underwhelming for now, but waiting till all this moisture clears from the air. It's our highest mag EP , so has to loose a bit because of magnification vs seeing, hopefully need a clear night to see it at it's best. Still, spent most of our Jupiter viewing using it the night before last.
Damn, I'm hooked on this stuff, 'eh?
