Observing tonight (Sat)

by Rich Neuschaefer

This evening I took my 55mm f/8 Celestron fluorite doublet refractor out on my camera tripod for a little obervign. The Moon looked nice as with a 5mm Tak LE eyepiece and with a 7.5mm Tak LE and a 2x Orion Shorty barlow. A little alter I looked at Saturn and Orion. Saturn looked nice and sharp with the 5mm LE. M42 and the Sword, very nice. I found I could see Rigel and its companion with the little 55mm.

Sorry, not a lot of detail about what I saw. The detail was there.
