Naked eye magnitude limit
G'day All,
A few have asked me, what is the seeing like at my place. Sunday night after the Moon set I put it to the test. I could pick out one lone star within the Coal Sack Nebula=SAO252046 Magnitude 6.5 . I could see it all the time with direct vision.
No doubt others with younger eyes, higher elevation or a cold winters morning will be able to exceed 6.5 .
I will be interested to hear your results.
