Finally got some clear skies and the chance to look at this group. WOW! Its been almost two years sence I've seen a nice group like this. Hope this means the minimum is over and we'll get to see more. Just set up the ETX125PE in the drive, did an easy alignment and excepted were it said the stars were, slued over to the sun and had a good look, although the scope had not reached equaliberum yet so the focus was not real sharp. Still it was great to see.

I too managed a brief (30 minutes)look at the group and, as you so rightly say, a nice group it was to be sure.
Lets hope it signals the start of a flurry of new spots.
