Couldn't see the forest for the trees
While playing around with some eBay eyepieces I came to realize I was going for too much magnification and was totally missing the clusters... Also, the supplied 3x barlow is pretty ordinary, hard to focus etc...
Observed M7 and M6 with a straight 10mm Plossl... Looking forward to searching for M8 and M20 tomorrow night...
I'm going to slowly work my way through the October targets but working outwards from Scorpius/Sagittarius so I can stay oriented... Kind of like putting together a jigsaw...
