8kids Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Well I finally had my first light, the seeing wasn't very good but nonetheless....... I saw the whirlpool galaxy! Awesome! Then I found the Pinwheel Galaxy! Then the Double cluster!Had a look at some double stars, I found them quite addictive.One thing I discovered, which I'm sure everyone knows is that a Dob mount is rather challenging when viewing straight up. Also I just realised I forgot to look at the planets, oh well something to look forward to tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beulah Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Absolutely fantastic night last night. Made me realise that I've really missed being out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigeye Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I found M81 and 82 for the first time but failed to find the whirlpool with my 127 Mak, what would be a good EP to use for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
