The bet I've been able to do so far : M31, M22, M25, M13 M92. I can see Eta UMi only with indirect viewing which I guess makes the skys in my area about Mag 4.5 - 5.0 Can anyone suggest any strategies that might give me better results? I have never seen my binos reviewed - could this be lat least part of the problem? Incidentally I have built a parallelogram mount for my Tentos which works quite well..
