M79 – Globular Cluster in Lepus was my last Messier object to observe. At 4:30am I found it ;D. I woke up at 4:am and thought it's now or never. It's a very distant cluster… hard to resolve as it was low in the southern sky and frost was on my equipment. Because of the conditions I didn't stay out long. I saw that Mars was available so I turned my scope to see. And before shutting down I had to view M42 for the first time this season. I took a look at Jupiter much earlier to show one of Collin's friends. Nothing too excitng. It's good to finish the Messier list.
On to the Cadwell objects!!
Happy trails.
