Point it at Omega Centauri next chance you get, and kick up some magnification with it. Then, either really early in the morning, or a little later on in the year, have a shot at NGC 253 too. I'm sure you'll be impressed with your grad-n-go'er even more.

Hi Alex, Already potted Omega in my sweeps around Cru region, add Butterfly, M7, 47 Tuc down low sth in the soup and some of the open clusters in Cru, Wishing Well, Sthn Pleiades. Heaps more. I need to get more organised to catalog what I see but this was grab & go night. I'll note NGC253 for future. I don't sleep all that well and can often be up at weird times.
Rolf: I'll be looking for some updates to the galleries then. As you say looks good for the next few nights from what I see on MetService. I have to set something up permanent in my backyard. I've got the space, I've got the will, just need the plan. Selling stuff on TradeMe to raise funds now.
