Opened up 7.15 to a clear sky soon joined by Max and Brian, had a run through of the start up and close down procedure then had a look at Venus before it set then onto Mars.A good sky so we decided to test it and had a look at M1 did we see it or not ? I don't know ,very faint next lets try something silly and try to see the horse head and the flame nebulae definitely no success there, so back to the old favourite M42 with a UHC filter looked superb.
Suddenly got very cold and a fog rolled in so called it a night 9.00pm.
