Not to rub it in or anything, but it was a good night up in Louth too. ;)

Report (and a few sketches) posted in Observing Reports section.

Cheers,

Hi

Yes it was a great night. The seeing was quite good also.

Highlight of the night for me was C/2006 W3 ( Christensen ) as I did not realise that this visitor was hanging out in Cygnus at 8th magnitude. Goto went straight to it. Definately blazing across the heavens against the star clouds of the milky way :P

Also got a chance to renew acquaintance with some other gems such as the veil nebula, saturn nebula and some new ones too like the Foxhead nebula in Cygnus.

Dang, I forgot all about Christensen. How big is it? Binocular target or telescopic?

Cheers,

Hi

I believe it is a binoculor object in cygnus and is very large and bright.
