At 23.00hrs I was in my East facing conservatory and decided to do a quick RDF check on Mars. While checking in the 200DPS I noticed 2 faint smudges nearby, Using a 9mm EP I got excellent views of M65 and M66 both new for me! You never know how things will turn out when you look through a scope, do you?

Well done. It is always nice to get an 'independent discovery'.
