Thanks for the red cellophane tip Suzy
I'll give it a shot for the next viewing.
Managed to see Tarantula Nebula tonight. Was faint but I stared long enough to kinda see the arms of the nebula. Looked at 47tuc again. Better viewing tonight under a towel to block moonlight. All in all a good night. Good to put on some music as well as I observed. Makes the experience more pleasurable.
Was looking for the small mallengelic cloud but I think it was to faint tonight for me. I'll wait for a smaller moon. BEautiful clear skies though.
