I just had the coolest experience. I'm in my light polluted backyard, it's clear on a Friday night, and I have to work in the morning. :S
I set up my dob and see a bright light at the zenith. It's another weather ballon like I saw last week. I slew the big dob and wow there it is. I called to my wife and her friend to take a look while I grabbed my camera. Snapped off a few and while recentering it in my 17T4 it burst! Wow, I've never seen anything like that. I snapped a pic, see next post.

Afterwards it looked like an expanding, while you watch, open cluster.
