Hi Dave,

I have been going through a lot of your objects already with my very old C14 on it's new pipe mount. I have been using it as my quick setup scope now. The Sky-90 is starting to get jealous.

I am not usually a planetary nebula guy, but NGC6781 really was something in the C14. I suppose I could describe it as a big hockey puck. It lacked the beauty of M27, but had a similar impact.
