And a cracking night it was too! Transparency was excellent. Horsehead picked up visually in my refractor with h beta filter and a 32 mm eyepiece. Good to see comet Garradd too. Nice and bright. M3 was lovely through Michael's C11 as was the Ghost of Jupiter which was surprisingly bright and well defined for it's low altitude. That wind was chilly mind!
