Thanks for your kinds words Les
I was having quite a bit of trouble teasing out any detail in 1365, I think light pollution, while not drastic is still a significant factor in my backyard observing. Last night I had a crack at NGC 1300 to see if I could offer any opinion as to the relative merits of 1365 vs. 1300 and could really only make out the core and a bit of the bar. Also had a look at PN NGC 1360 which was invisible except for the central star until I pout in the OIII filter. All this indicates to me that the LP is a prob for these objects.
I did have a quick crack at 1373 but it was not visible.
I will post a report shortly on last nights viewing.
Thanks again
Malcolm
