1st Messier

[imarcs]

Just returned from a week of camping in Dorset, managed to get a few clearish nights.

Finally managed to get my first Messier M13.

I was so excited that i didn't even care that it looked like a tiny smudge on my Binos (although i did clean them) and looked at it about a 100 times over the next hour.

Only 109 to go.. Signature has been updated.

congratulations, you should be good for ~90 of the 110 from the UK, so you are even closer to a UK 100% now

well I will be 5 degrees north of the equator for the next month, i'll try to pick up the missing 20 whilst i'm there

Yes plenty more to go but congratulations on your find.

Good work! 109 to go. I don't know if you have done it already but it's probably worth recording when you saw it and what you saw.

Congrats on your first Messier - grab a look at M31 up there right now and easy to pick out - then that's 2 ticked off
