M42 + m32 with bins

[Big_Daz]

Just been out with my bins looking at Jupiter inbetween some light cloud and could make out Io, Europa, Ganymede and Calisto but the cloud kept blocking my view, so I went to put the kettle on for a coffee to warm me up a bit. When I came back out someone blew all the clouds away for me, by this time Orion was visable over the top of the neighbours tree. I could just make out M42 west of Rigel, it looked like two stars close together covered in a light cloud through my bins at 24x mag. seeing that it was really clear I thought I would try to find M32. I knew roughly where to look thanks to stellarium and could just make out a very faint fuzz before the cloud set in again. All in all a good hour and a half of viewing, can't wait to get my first scope now.

Clear skies. Daz.
