Usually I observe Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster (when it's up) and the Fornax Cluster. I don't know why they call it the 'Fornax Cluster' as 90% of the Fornax Galaxies are in Eridanus!

I also usually have a look at the common favourites: Orion Nebula, Tarantula Nebula, 47Tuc (globular cluster), the Moon, whichever Planets are in view, Plieadies (I can't spell it, but I can look at it), and a few others.

I spend other non-usual nights searching out new goodies! This is one hobby that doesn't wear out. There is no-one alive who can say "I've seen it all!"
