Oh and I should mention...'high power' in this case means around 500x -
with very little atmospheric interference, if any. Never seen anything like
it in all my years of experience*

Outstanding viewing! High-power views of M57 and NGC 891 were standouts
for me. I was also able to get a nice 'tour' of the constellation Andromeda
with the club's 12" scope (working well with the new 2" focuser). We also
had two other scopes, my ST80 and the 6" Dob my daughter won at Table
Mountain. It was great to see some new faces as well - Matt and Jerry I
hope to see you guys at the meeting Friday!
Special thanks to Dan for sharing Hercules with everyone and to Cathy for
the 1 am hot dog :)
Also would like thank Eric for providing a copy of the Strang List, which
I am now working on.

It looks like that sixth galaxy was probably NGC 7320C. It shows up in
some images of Stephan’s and is considered a possible member of the group.

I agree, it was an excellent night. Many best ever views of objects. The
seeing allowed higher than usual magnification, the Blue Snowball in
Andromeda was a standout. Stephen’s Quintet was very well defined, even
seeing a sixth galaxy in the field with them. Will be a night long
remembered.
