Hmm... you can see M32 on a bino?? :?: Ha Ha... :mrgreen: I think you really was too sleepy and type wrongly... It's M31, right?? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Did you try seeing it using Elton 10" Teleport using a Pentax 40mm??
yes...scanned it on my bino. would have been a totally wshed out object on my scope considering it is so dim on the bino.
no, didn't manage to see it on the Teleport as when I got there, it was already behind the building from where Elton set up his scope....
David did confirm it was a non-performer that night when they tried it earlier...

btw, David was the first to arrive, so maybe we should make him acting Dempsey CSN IC until CC returns! :-) and Mr Hardcore himself , Weixing was sorely missed there...your name was mentioned a few times...:-)

Hi Ric,
I confirm that three of us spotted M31 on my bino.It's fuzzy patch.Thank to Charlie,another walking GOTO who guide me and Mooey to it.
Yes I always the first one to be there at Dempsey because I like to start early.To be CSN IC,it's difficult since my timing is unpredictable.

Hmmm just another newbie question.

What's Dempsey all about? And what's all the hype about it?

Or i shall with bent and turned,
fall me down, distraught..To die.
