Between moonset (2:50 DST) and astronomical twilight this morning I had an hour and a half to try out my new black GSO 16”.
I put some wheels on it last night so it is easy to roll it out of the garage and use it.
The collimation was slightly out but it was still very impressive with a 21mm EP at 86 times (with no filters) on the following 90+ objects.

13 Open Cl. M35, M37, M44, M45, M46, NGCs 2477, 2516, 3293, 3532, 3766, ICs 2581, 2602, 2714
8 Globular Cl. NGCs 104, 121, 288, 362, 1261, 1851, 2808, 3201

27 Nebula. M1, M42, M43, M78, NGCs 346, 1435, 1499, 1931, 1973-5-7, 1999, 2023, 2024, 2070, 2071, 2175, 2261, 2237, 2359, 2467, 3199, 3247, 3324, 3372, 3581-2, 3603, ICs 434, 2944
14 PN. NGCs 246, 1360, 1514, 1535, 2371, 2392, 2438, 2440, 2818, 2867, 3132, 3242, 3699, 3918

28 Galaxies. Swept the SMC and the LMC, M77, NGCs 55, 134, 253, 1055, 1269, 1316-17, 1326, 1365, 1374, 1379, 1380, 1387, 1399, 1404, 1531-32, 1533, 1546, 1549, 1553, 1566, 1617, 1792, 1808

It was well worth the $1800 the 16” scope cost me.
