Sirius with M41. Orion nebula. 10x50s

[mark81]

A gap in the clouds appeared last night so I grabbed my black paper, white pen and pencil along with my 10x50s and had a go at Sirius with M41.  I then had a go at Orion Nebula but didn't attempt the many very faint mag 8-9s

Very nice Mark! Did you have the binos on a tripod?

Thanks Stu. No, it was all handheld - which can be annoying, but with those tragets so low in the sky it worked out well..

Even better then! That must have been tricky! They compare well with Skysafari! Nicely done
