hi isabelle and john yes we hit some great clusters and doubles, the moon was so bright dso`s were out luck ,but we had a great night am glad john and connor had a good night even tho the kids legged it inside early bless them. i could have stayed out all night my self but the fingers were froze, it was great to have some one else to view with for a change and john any time we have clear skies chuck the scope in the car and get ya self over .your scope does the bizz, all the doubles and nebs and clustters are easily seen with it when ya no where to look get a book to help ya have more faith in it
