Hi all,
Since the wind has died down, I had an hour
or two outside last night. Transparency was
pretty ordinary and seeing even worse.
The 22 and 17 EP's were OK, but the
12 and anything shorter was a struggle.
Found that PN is Grus from here, finally.
This time I tried looking for it with the
UHC in place. It is almost invisible without
it. Both it and the Quartet were twice as
faint as at Glen's. The ring shape that
was so clear at Glen's was only just
visible with averted vision with the filter.
Shows the value of dark skies.
The nebulas near 6723 were
pretty good with the filter in place.
It was just good to be back at the
eyepiece again, even though
the seeing wasn't great.
Hope your 16 is operational again Rob.
Cheers to all. Paul.
