Messier 1 & 37 from last night

[Jim Smith]

A couple of Messier Object observations from last night. I used an 18mm eyepiece in my 80mm f/6 refractor, giving about 27x magnification. These two clips show pretty much the same views as through the telescope. M1, the Crab Nebula, is only just visible to me eventhough I have quite dark skies. It is very tricky to see in the video clip as well! It is barely visible as a faint smudge in the centre of the video. You may have more luck with the original videos available here...https://www.ishoo.co.uk/messier/
