Beethoven's 6th symphony......

5th movement - After the storm.

Glorious seeing last night after the clouds had gone, with tricky little devils like Lambda Cygni showing a clean split and Epsilon Lyrae well up to text book standards. Even Uranus was a nice clean disk scudding along at mag. 350.

The transparency was goodish here too with M74 (one of my more difficult to spot Messier objects) showing well, and a nice clean view of the M45 nebulosity.

More like the raindrop prelude my way....

I didn't know you could see M45's nebulosity visually - so to speak. Which of your scopes did you use?

I've seen it a few times only from dark locations after rain.  You have to check it is not dewing of course! I used the 180 Mak this time.
