what am i looking at?
hello members
i am only on my third night out with my new setup and for several reasons i have not attached all of the goto on my g11, so i am just pushing the scope manually at present
now i am pretty sure i have located eta carinae visually just above our cross
but i spotted some other cloud a little further south west(?) seemed to be directly under sirius
i had a meade sw 24.5mm lens and an lp filter and in the same field there seemed to be a smaller fuzzie at 3 and another at 6
looking at the A S&T chart the only nebula that seemed to be in the correct position was in the LMC! however there was no hint at all of another galaxy or other stars around it in inner city perth
what do you think it was and realistically what can i expect to see visually any chance at the brighter galaxies?
