After two months of being back in Albuquerque, last night was one of less than a handful that was clear and calm. We've had winds as high as 50mph, clouds constantly and rain on and off (not typical Albuquerque weather for this time of year).

I was able to get to a slightly darker observing spot than the RV park we're staying in (in the park I can only see to mag. 8.5; last night I was seeing to 11.00) I spent five hours pushing my "Push-To" system to the max. I wanted to post the results here just in case someone is reading this thread and interested but not sure if it's worth the work. I can't tell you enough that for someone who is really interested in amateur astronomy, this system is well worth whatever work you have to put into it, not to mention that it's as inexpensive as $12.00 or as expensive as you want to take it (you know who you are...Sky Captain

)

Here's a list of my viewed objects:

Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, Neptune

Messier objects:

3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 23, 25, 27, 40, 44, 49, 51, 54, 55, 56, 58, 59, 60, 61, 63, 65, 66, 67, 68, 71, 72, 73, 75, 80, 83, 84, 86, 87, 88, 90, 91, 92, 94, 95, 96, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 104, 105, 106, 108.

Caldwell objects:

1, 6, 15, 21, 26, 29, 32, 36, 37, 38, 40, 47, 48, 52, 53, 55, 59, 61, 66, 77, 78, 80, 82, 83.

85 objects!

I hope everyone else using this system is enjoying it as much as I am.
