57 UMa  (SAO 0265 72)  Mags of 5.4 and 10.7 with a separation of  5.5"  Sadly I dont think I got this seeing wasnt that good. Got a white star but more mag made the image softer.

M57  Could only see the ring with averted 

Double double had to Barlow my 10mm to get a hair split.

Saturn looked good but only in my 12mm x83 could not put more mag on went soft.

Jupiter this was the same as Saturn I got all 4 moons and just two bands on the Planet.

NGC 457 love this cluster

Double cluster looked amazing in the 2" 28mm as it did last night in  the 5" 

I saw 4 meteors through the session. 

That was it packed up at 12.30 am

Lovely !  It’s been a bit hectic with poor seeing and eponymous hot air . 
A 4” frac punches well above its weight for resolution and colour . It’s the most efficient size of objective and gives easily focussed fine views. In this case f10 rules !

clear skies , great beers ,
