    Luka and I had some nice views.  Mostly binoculars work: Orion Nebula, Pleiades, Double Cluster, Leo Triplet, Sombrero, Owl Cluster, Beehive, Crab Nebula.  In Auriga: M36, M37, M38.  Found M35 in Gemini then looked unsuccessfully for NGC 2174/2175 across the way in Orion.  M101…  What else?

    Luka was busy imaging away and I can't wait to see his final version of the Great Nebula in Orion.  The single, raw frame he showed me was fantastic!

    We ended the night around 12:30 with some splendid views of Saturn.

    It was a great night for collecting antique photons!
