Yes, it pulls you up at first doesn't it..😅 Mind you, it would be fun listening to a 'flat Earther' explain that one away..🙂

My feelings exactly. I will be going on a long visit to Australia and New Zealand next March principally to visit my daughter and her family and fully intend to spend time under the darkest skies. I am already investigating Astro observing opportunities with larger instruments that could not be taken with me, and in truth I don't want the bother. In 2019 I was able to observe under Arizona sky with a 28" DOB. Dedicated Astro trips into the Bush are available around Alice Springs. It makes my decision simple to make. I would select the 152mm f8 refractor sitting in my dome, as the one to keep.

Yet to see this one. Very nice shot ! -
But no worse Stu than spending hours in the cold hoping to see a barely visible smudge of grey. That, my wife cannot understand...😁

yep, definitely.....

You should definitely add M81 & M82 and M51 around Ursa Major Magnus, but I'm sure you know that already...

Ok, thanks John. Our Astro society has a meet on Sunday at a location out of town which has the same Bortle 4 sky as home, but no blasted light pollution close up so I will take my dob there I think, along with a 13mm Nagler (92x) and have another crack at it...🙂

Well, I tried last night with my 6" frac and my 12" Dob for at least an hour, probably longer , I didn't look for anything else , and failed dismally ! To be fair the fog did set in half an hour after I gave in so the transparency wasn't great, and once again my neighbour left her outside light on all evening.... I was using my APM 20mm 100 deg ( 60x ) so I can't have missed the area. What sort of mag. is needed for this one ? To be continued.............................
