Thanks Judith for your help with collimating the 16" on a star.
The 13mm EP is 138 times with a field of 30'. The 21mm EP is 86 times with a field of 47'.
I used the 13mm EP after you left and had a great look around until 11:30pm.

For a great night, take 1 new 16inch + 1 clear sky + 1 Glen. Result ... astronomical delights!

Thanks heaps Glen. I have added the Messier objects you showed me to my growing list of them. Goodness knows how long it will be before another clear night but last night will keep me going for a while!

It was clear last night till 11 pm so I used the 16" for an hour and a half.
I will start a new thread called Northern Rivers 2012.
Lets hope 2012 is clearer than 2011.
