The Orion Nebula was quite distinct and contrasty once above the horizon, with the four bright trapezium stars a cinch at 36x and higher. The Ultrablock and Deep-Sky filters helped on this object as well as others, especially with the water vapor glaze that seemed to cover the sky. The Veil and North America Nebulae were similarly helped, and even moreso by the OIII filter. The Rosette Nebula was a case where aperture would have been a big help. It was visible, but barely so - perhaps a drier night would have allowed better views.
Globular clusters are bright and obvious, although they plainly suffer from lack of resolution.
Several bright star clusters rounded out the roster for the evening, and the little scope does extremely well on those. The Pleiades, Double Cluster and various M-clusters all looked quite lovely. The seeing was quite good, and the image of Saturn on the viewing screen was beautiful and sharp, filling probably the middle ten percent of the image. At about 10PM we packed it in - the fog was starting to wax and wane on the hillsides, and we were feeling pretty drippy. The quality of the session boded well for future drier events, however, and our new SAV site seems like it will be a good one.
