Finally got scope out to work. Missed jupiter by minutes due to cloud. Did however, see The Grat Nebula In Andromeda. (Using 25mm standard eyepiece, 10 was ok, I need new eyepieces I think!) Then, when that was covered by clouds, dashed down to see The Pleiades which I found in seconds having found it by sight :) Very clear but no colour, too far apart even with 25mm. Maybe I need a 32mm wfov eyepice for that object, def if Im gonna do any astrophotograhy.Hmmm. Oh and saw a shooting star. Not bad for a rushed grab at some clear sky and the fact it was my first ever session. Staying up for a bit, BBC reckon its gonna be clear about 1am, yeah right...
