This is under light infested skies (about a 4) in the burbs of LI. Intes MK66 on the back yard deck.
Double Double in Lyra-like 4 diamonds at 225X
M57- perfect cloud ring between 60X to 120X
the boys M13 & M92-good detail to the core, nice exteneded detail at the outer edge
M15-very much like M13
M2- dito
M29- very nice detail
M11 - nice detail in the center
M10 & M12- very much like M13
M31- much deatil with more time at the ep you could make out the extentions but need darker skies.
Most powers on the objects were between 60x to 80X
I was also up early on the morning of the 5th, very windy but at 4am est Saturn was just so sweet at around 150X with 2 to seen easy, ring division and very bright even around 300X. Jupiter was still to low in the sky yet. M42 was just as I remember it like the flower in the fall sky perfect between 120x to 150X. Cannot wait till I get the new scope to a dark site, its been raining in NY for 2 weeks so even though the skies are not the most stable its good the there at least clear, enjoy, Jim.
