Another night with fairly poor seeing and some cloud, but I wanted to catch up on some of the things I’d missed a few days earlier.
Again I had to give up on M77 and M79, but this time I found M31 fairly easily in the scope and spent some time observing it. Yet another thing I’m amazed I’ve never picked out with the naked eye.
Given the poor seeing and the barely lit moon I spent some time familiarising myself with it, but could really only pick out Mare Crisium. The lunar surface was dancing about all in the scope making it very difficult to view anything in detail, so at that point I decided to call it a night.
