MARCH 1ST - OUT WITH SEESTAR S50, POOR CONDITIONS, BUT STILL PERFORMED WELL.

[paulastro]

The Seestar is certainly a useful 'scope' to have when conditions may not be worthwhile for visual observations.

A bright Moon and some haze, poor seeing, frosty.  Cleared at 1am as forecast surprisingly.  Though- this was too late for some objects I wanted to observe.

Pics of a few I intresting objects below. First NGC2266, a small triangular shaped 6' OC in Gem.  It contains many red giants, rather a colourful little cluster.

NGC5907, m10.3 edge on galaxy in Draco.  The Splinter Galaxy, 12.9'x1.3'.

Couldn't resist snapping M13, Hercules Great Globular, and the E Veil NGC6992 as they rose into view.  Pleased with the results in the conditions, particularly the E Veil.

PS  The Splinter Galaxy would have been better, but I left the deep sky filter on after using it on the pic I had taken before.  It didn't do it any favours..
