I just wanted to see something...The CSC said I might be able to.

Using the Orion Deep Map 600 to find what might be in the holes in the clouds.

| Jupter | Yeah! Alignment worked, I might get to see something. 26mm, cloud bands where visible. Just think how sad it would be to be under a cloud band larger than the Earth. |
|---|---|
| M83 | which I missed last time I was out looking for M objects. Saw nothing. |
| NGC 4038 | there was a fuzzy there. |
| M13 | 17mm, So many stars. I watched it for awhile, the stars and the lumpyness. Nice to see it again. |
| M10 | 17mm, I could resolve some stars. I went to adjust the chair and it was gone. |
| NGC 6939 | 17mm, This was very exciting open cluster. I thought there was some hint of nebulosity, or where those just clouds? I will look at this again on a better night. |
| M29 | 17mm, Bright gems slid into view. They were only clearly visible for a few minutes before becoming dimmed by clouds. |
I waited for about 20 minutes before packing it in.
