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!
