Nice work Pete, it's always a special time to see something you haven't seen before, as you say it's like you are the only person who has seen it. Don't worry, that feeling never goes away either, the more you see the more oooooo's and Ahhhhh's at the eyepiece
Even going back to old objects each season, it's like you are seeing it for the first time...
Keep us up to date on how you go.
