First sight from a bright site


Recommended Posts

So, last night I had a lot of firsts .. my first sight at the Double cluster , the dragon fly cluster and the starfish cluster .. my favourite the Beehive and Plaides were also on my list . a lovely 97 % lit moon , but my best last night was the spiral star cluster .. all this with my evostar 120 on an AZ5 mount . Of course no night can be complete this time of year without looking at Orion  and the wonderful , Sirius . I didn’t use much magnification.. mainly because of my target area being wide field .. I did have cause to try a zoom EP , which I was very underwhelmed with . So I put my little celestron 26mm to work and the views were lovely . It’s so nice to have a positive outcome . Oh and I saw Uranus for the first time .. using my AZ-GTI and ST80 ... I’ve yet to see Neptune. Vesta is on my list as I believe it will be at opposition in March . 
happy days , or rather nights :) 

PS .. isn’t light pollution horrible . The photo shows Sirius photo bombing my two scopes lol
