Thanks Terry, I'll give it a go, but I find their site torture to navigate through, not sure how I'll go but I'll try- would be great if so!

Meanwhile what I have prepared and ready to go is a starry night map going as deep as I could go- grrr not that deep really - plotting out the mag of some stars, then a pic of Ivan's (inverted) to go deeper.

The SN in m95 was at the limits of my scopes capabilities, so yes I would say nothing over mag.13 for me.
