Owl Nebula
I caught a glimpse of the Owl Nebula through my small refractor and decided to get a closer look with my C8 SCT. It’s a challenging target – dim enough that it doesn’t stand out much from the light pollution even with a longer exposure.

DSOs at 70mm
I decided to stick to my little scope again while learning my new mount, and managed to capture several objects. I think I’ve got it figured out well enough to move back to my big scope next time. With the light polluted skies here 70mm isn’t enough to get much out of fainter targets.
