indeed!

Was fortunate enough to get out the other night (when SMC was visible) and this morning (when LMC was visible)..

The highlight of the SMC for mine is definitely 47Tuc, had a good look at that through my 32mm and 15mm eyepieces.. I love it in the widefield views, the core is so dense and bright.

Of course the highlight of the LMC is the Tarantula Nebula, had a good view of it this morning again through the 32mm and a 2x barlowed view with the same eyepiece (16mm equivalent). The spidery shape was definitely visible, legs looking like tentacles spreading out into the blackness
