I know Marty, the thought crossed my mind of an uincoming cyclone.
We had cloud and drizzle for 2 days after I got it, and thhat was it. Phew!! Actually very cloudy today too, so was very lucky last night.

Try something around 20mm for starters and go higher, you will get sooooo much more enjoyment out of looking at PN's.

Yes, ya right of course Ron. I had changed EPs a couple of times over the night, but kept going back to the 40mm, and as I said, I never use them, but the view was so sharp and beautiful. The little Blue was easy to see as a little round blue object, not fuzzy.

My main fav Ep of late has been a 13mm Hyperion, but barely used it last night.

Am sure I will go back to the 15 - 2o mm range after I get over the .... novelty.
