Wow sounds like you had an epic sky last night Martin

M44 was just in my FOV (8 degrees) with the binos, but I guess I observed it after you did. I had to use adverted vision to spot it in the binos and scope too. I would have to say the naked eye limiting mag here is not quite to 4

I couldnt see any stars in cancer. I hope this changes this summer, or fall, as I might be moving to a darker location

(I can only hope at this point)
Thanks Martin, for some reason after getting my website going I just wanted to document every observation I make, whether it be meteorological, astronomical or photographical

It gives me something to do on cloudy nights.
Roman, here is a good link I found (and my FOV is actually 1.25 degrees on my 25mm piece and .54 degrees on my 9mm piece- that I never use lol)
