Due to high humidity 80-85%++ last night, I could not see as clear as the other night, but ended up finding M5 with ease this time, (After starring at it's whereabouts on Stellarium for half an hour), M10 and M11 (The Wild Duck Cluster). M5 was extremely murky, I could make out some minor detail at 240x with my 5mm, I was convinced it was bad when I quickly found M13 and remembered how clearer it was the night before. I managed to find M10 but could not find it's partner, again it wasn't that clear. Will definately look for all these again on a better night. I managed to find M11, at first I thought it was a blueish Nebula, this one looks pretty neat, will have to revisit for sure. I'm also pretty sure I was looking at open clusters all over the place to the rght of Sagittarius. I also spotted no less than 3 fast moving satellites, although one Near M5 looked like it could have been something WAY WAY WAY further. I really want to get a 2X Barlow now to try 480X on Jupiter as well as barlowing the 24mm Panoptic. I cannot wait to get back out there again. |
