Frosty challenges .

[cotterless45]

Clear, but not transparent. The seeing got better up to midnight, giving some cracking views. Not really a night for galaxies , tried for comet Panstarrs , but Perseus was lit up by light pollution. Had a shot of Venus, low Neptune and a very high Uranus disc. 

M50 in Monoceros , overlooked , but a lovely big cluster. NGC 2396 in Canis Major gave a lovely dense sparkle.

Lepus and "Hind's Crimson " SAO 150058 didn't disappoint. Just a cry of joy with Leo 54, an absolutely stunning yellow and blue , SAO 81583. Onto some right challenges ,

Weiss 14 in Gemini, delicately difficult, about 2".

Σ1037, SAO 79170 in Gemini, well below 1".

Comparison of beta Monocerotis and the tighter Zeta Cancri, really both are beautiful.

Comparison of "winter Albireos ", preferred the more colourful closer h3945 to iota Cancri.

Σ 1374 in Leo Minor , 2.8" with a delicate companion.

NGC 2367, with a lovely binary Lal 53.

Got a bit nippy around midnight down to minus three . Ice on everything , put the frac on top of the freezer.  Bit of gentle heat to thaw it out. A covered hot water on the ep case keep them dew free, hoping for clear skies !

Was very cold I found yesterday took me ages to warm up again, I enjoyed sitting and looking but it sure was murky. Great report you had.

Clouded out here as per was clear up until 8pm then cloud. Some targets there not seen before I will have to write them down. Great sketches as usual Nick.
