Re: Observing tonight?

I thought about Keller, but decided to try the backyard.  I haven't been out there since October(?), November(?), earlier? 
Anyway, the backyard isn't too bad.  I'm in SW Roch on the edge, so nothing much south and west of me.
I was not out there too long.  Clouds were coming in, so came back inside.  They came earlier than I expected. 
I looked at the moon for awhile waiting for it to get darker.  Started looking at Saturn, I could pick out 3 moons and some banding.  Trying to get familiar with the backyard again,  🙂  Pulled in M65 and M66 in Leo and M81 and M82 in UrsaMa.  Not quite as nice as what I have been seeing in Keller and Eagle Bluff recently, but still found them.  Keeping an eye on the time as the ISS was due at 8:53 or so with a magnitude of -2.4.  It would go right overhead and should be good show.  I saw it was 8:51 and started watching.  And, yep it was a good show.  Came out below Andromeda and climbed.  Went past Capella and Gemini.  I had my 13mm in the scope.  I did get ahead of it and waiting.  As it went through, I was able to see some definition, definitely some panels visible.  I did latch onto for a bit and followed it with that eyepiece.  The ISS went across the sky, almost hit Regulus, and then it was gone.  🙂
I decided to see what I could see from home.  I first tried M76, Little Dumbbell.  I pointed right at it and I could see it.  Yahoo!  Not much of anything other than a little blob.  Moving my scope around and it moved with it.  Yep, M76.  I then did find M1, Crab Nebula.  Again, a definite patch of fuzz.  🙂  On the 21st when we were at Eagle Bluff, I did find NGC 2392, Eskimo Nebula, for the first time.  I finally got it nailed down where it was.  Wasn't too hard to actually see, I just had to figure out what it looked like and read directions better.    ::)  Anyway, time for a test to see if I could find it again and also find it at home.  And there it was.  Out at Eagle Bluff, found out it was more stellar than I expected, but there it was, again…  A cloud went through, pulled in some of the open clusters M37, M36, M38, M35, M41.  More looks at Saturn and the Orion Nebula, then noticed quite a few more clouds were there and decided to call it a night.
