Good Friday - observing session

[mdstuart]

It was a good Friday!

First off I enjoyed the dragon rocket and its booster and debris coming over.

Then John gave me a heads up on the C something Panstaars comet..its needs a name...come on someone...we name hurricanes! It was brighter than most galaxies..a bit like M94??

Then I observed a range of galaxies..12 in all..including pairs..a group...and a pair of edge on galaxies including the surprisingly bright IC1029!

I think it should be possible in an 8 inch scope.

Looking forward to more hunting tonight.

I trust you all enjoyed last night as well.

Thanks for the heads up Mark, will have a go on it tonight, it'll be my faintest galaxy if bagged.
