Hi all, Well, the AN is off and running. After sorting out
the "direction sense", it was into tour mode.

Galaxies spotted before the moon started to rise:
1097, 1316, 1365, 289, 253, 134, 55, 7793, 7713.

Planetaries:
7293 (Helix - good with UHC), 7009 (Saturn),
6818 (Little Gem), 6853 (Dumbell), 1360 (a very bright oval shaped one).

Also spotted a dozen or so globulars. Most of the
positioning was somewhere near the FOV but
not exact, maybe some fine tuning to be done. Initial
feelings are that the gadget is excellent. Great to
get some scope time again. Cheers, Paul.
