It's a great feeling when the weather forecast is wrong and the skies are clear. Nebula in Auriga and great views of Jupiter. Definitely need to add a UHC filter and some medium/low eyepieces to my collection though

I was using a SkyWatcher Explorer 130. I was mainly looking at NGC 1893 which I've since discovered is actually an open cluster. I did also look at IC405 but it was difficult to see much with the eyepieces I have. I only have the stock 25mm eyepiece for a finder and then it's a jump to an 8mm BST or barlow the 25mm. I'm planning on the 12mm and the 18mm which should be much better suited to nebula, especially with a UHC filter

If you've got a UHC filter then give this a look:

It lists a whole load of nebula and which filter gives the best results on it. There's enough in there for months/years of viewing! Happy hunting
