V quick Dob sesh

A bit of a brief observing session this evening - fairly knackered generally, but sky too clear to ignore!

Spent a bit of time on the moon, which I wouldn't usually do but it did look pretty special at x50 through the Dob. Blasted my dark adaption though!

Then on to Jupiter - some really crisp detail tonight, much better than the other evening. Lots of bands etc in northern hemisphere in particular,

Pleiades next, and specifically wanted to see if I could make out the reflection nebula by using an Orion Ultrablock filter. Looked pretty convincing to me - definite signs of nebulosity around the brighter members, and I don't think it was just glare (although hard to tell).

Finally had a bit of a go trying to find M108, but the northern skies from my house are pretty washed out - no dice,

That was enough for me tonight - hardly a hardcore session, but definitely better than nothing!
