Ving you should try the Virgo-Coma cluster which is now appearing in the
morning. I logged 65 in my trusty 8" in one night including the M objects all
within a few degree's of each other. especially on the southern and western
flanks. Try and locating M84 & M86 in a low powered wide field ep, and see
what else you can find. This is one on my most favorite multiple galaxy
views. You can then swing NE by a FOV and follow the chain : ) there a
dozen right there!

BD, I'm like you a star hopper, can find pretty much anything within the
limit of my scope, and prefer it that way. Do you have CDC or something?
you can punch in the numbers, print em out and still do it the traditional
way.
