Dean, yes it really got nice out there last night. At first I was wondering if I would have to go home before it got dark enough to see things. I got there early and checked out the planets, but it was hard to even make out stars it was so light out. I think it was around 9:45 before I could almost make out M65 and M66 in Leo. Still needed a few more minutes. Things really picked up after 10 as stars really started to pop out. I only stayed until 11:00. Mainly I was finally trying to work through the Virgo Cluster. Man, there are just so many galaxies up there, hard to keep track. I think I may have had too much magnification, so I'll have to try less mag and a wider field next time. I sure wished I didn't have to work the next day! AGNFA for sure.
