We are going to Mt. Wilson Friday night to view Mars through the 60"
telescope (courtesy Los Angeles Astronomical Society), and were told we
could look at other objects we were interested in.

I am looking for suggestion for what you would look at if you had a little
time with a 60" scope....

Thanks.

Abell galaxy clusters. There are several in good positions - in
Andromeda and Perseus, for example. NGC253; NGC246; the Fornax
cluster, even if it's onl;y 10° above the horizon. And while you're at
it, Stephen's Quintet, Einstein's Cross...my gosh, I could go on and
on! I'd love to be in your shoes tonight!
Clear skies,
