I have a tick!

No, not one of them blood sucky things that eat your dog in the forest!

I've found M15, my first Globular Cluster and I went all tingly when I found it, and thought I'd let everyone know Big grins for me

When I first lugged my scope down the stairs and set up in the carpark I was rather pi@@ed at myself for leaving my RDF on last time I used it so battery was dead so didn't think I'd find anything other than Jupiter!

Think I was a little lucky in pointing in the right direction, in the corner of the view, after a little wander about that bit of the sky, was a definite fuzz, the clouds then wisped by so it kept disappearing but then cleared for me to stare at it for about 25 minutes, checked Stellium and TLAO when I got in and 100% sure it was M15, soooo chuffed that's 4 Messier's now!

Congrats mate, you've a hell of a lot more big grins to come.

Just come right back here and tell us about them.

Lets hope the Winter skies play ball for you.

Ron.

Well done Matt. Two bits of good news for you. Firstly there are more of them and secondly you get the same feeling every time. Happy hunting.
