[culater]

Looks like its going to be clear in the SE tonight.

So far ive found M13, M57 and M27

I tried M81/2 but i think its too light.

Thanks

M11 is a good one, M3 is alright too, i have an 8 inch scope too, those ones both came out well. hope you're right about the weather

How about M92, Albireo (lovely double star) and the double-double in Lyra

Im in Kent there's not a cloud in the sky M11 and M3 it is then !

Oh yes, Albireo is ticked on my list will look again though tonight.

Havent see Double double in Lyra. Will go for that tonight as well.

I have found the same things using my 150mm f/8 reflector, so I am also wondering what to look for next.

For the time being I have been concentrating on finding M27 for the third time, I don't always manage to find it, even though I have twice already, my light pollution is quite bad.

I have also been trying to find M4 in the constelation of Scorpius, near the bright star Antares. so you could try this. Hope you have better look than me!

I find it a difficult target as it is low in the sky and often hidden behind trees or houses from my garden, I keep trying to spot it at just the right time as it appears from behind something. I am pretty sure I have seen Antares but so far have not seen M4.

Also there are often low clouds or some kind of atmospheric murkiness near the horizon and this doesn't help.

I have had no success with M81 and M82 as they are far from any stars to star hop to them form, also light pollution is really bad for finding galaxies!

I keep looking at Jupiter as this is easy to find!

The double double is fun, check your collimation first though while you're waiting for it to get dark!

M13, 57, 27, 56, 11 should be a start, they are fairly bright and the moon is up..

[Sparrow]

How about Andromeda M31 - should be able to get a view of that.
