Awesome 21.7-21.8 sky

[jetstream]

I went out with a list from Nick and found a few new ones thats for sure-of the ones I could identify was the bright ngc 2403,fantastic,2742,2768,3359,1907.M108 easily visible as was M97.Inside the big dipper I saw 4 galaxies,not sure what the names are yet.

The flame neb easily visible,and I got hints of IC434-No HH however,my Ultrabock is useless on the target.Many more objects seen,great but cold -34C night with the SQM-L giving up 21.7-21.8 solid readings ( I take a bunch),transparency 4/5...it was good...too bad the Rigel ate 3 batteries in the cold-I ran out...

Had lots of fun

Super report, you must be hardy below zero !

I saw loads of galaxies in the bowl of the Big Dipper from a dark site with a 10". It was lovely just to drift around an area which is empty in town,

All the very best for 2014 ! Nick.
