Doc Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 My first night out in at least 6 months and I'm Frozen..... But really guys, I'm surprised how much I missed it. Off the top of my head I saw: Uranus M31 M32 M110 M15 M76 M81 M82 M39 Ngc752 M34 M33 M36 M37M38 M35 Ngc2371 Ngc2392 M45 M42 M43 M78 I think that's about it. All seen with a UWAN 28mm and 16mm.

Doc Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Nice one Mick, how did you manage that, it was blowing a right gale here? I'm in a pretty sheltered spot on the patio, have cover on three sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckstar Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) Nice one doc. Thankfully my back gardens sheltered from the wind too:- Eskimo nebula, M35, M37, M36, M38, M43, revisited several times as it just looked stunning. M45, M1, M50, M46, M47, M48, M78, And a quick look at Jupiter as well. Think I bagged more last night than I did at Kelling. Didn't think I'd find M1 from my light polluted garden but the setting circles sure worked. Edited December 20, 2014 by tuckstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) You obviously had a wonderful session Mick I've tried to see ngc2371 but never properly identified it. Did you see both lobes or just an oval? Edited December 20, 2014 by Tweedledee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see both lobes or just an oval? With prolonged viewing at times you could see two seperate lobes during times of good seeing but it was hard.

That sounds really good considering it is a 13th mag fuzzy and you were at home and not at a dark site . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
