Great report Brent and great to hear that you're browsing the SMC. YOu've done well to pick out 346, 371 and 330 in light polluted skies. Whilst you're finding your way around the SMC, I'd be grateful if you could have a play with my charts at
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=67632 and let me know if they help and if you have any suggestions. I suspect that they will be of more use when you finish your larger scope, but I'd love to know what you can pick out from them using a small scope. I do plan to have a set for smaller aperture scopes and binoculars and inverted versions for newtonian friendly use on the web site. I will soon be updating the charts to include symbols to indicate the nature of the objects marked.
