Big Night Planned

[Sam]

The snow has gone, I've built a new ramp for the Lightbridge to get it up the stairs onto the deck and the weather looks pretty good. It'll be properly dark by 7:00pm.

The first objects on the list will be Saturn and M104 (Sombrero Galaxy, inspired by John's fantastic image) followed by a bunch of clusters and other galaxies including M68, M83, M68 and a planetary nebula (NGC4361).

In the east there's M55, M22, Vesta and in the north there's M13 and M5 plus a bunch of other targets just waiting to be spotted. It's been over eight months since I've had the Lightbridge out so it'll need a good collimation. Anyway off to get the scope ouside and cooling down!

Hope tour session goes well, sounds like a good list to be aiming at.
