M101 in 70mm bins
Last weekend, South East Wales ( LLanbedr near Crickhowell).
No visible sructure, but a distinct faint fuzzy patch. I didn't have a star chart to hand at the time, but looking at CdC now it's quite obvious that I had the right thing. I guess it must have been a pretty dark sky. The following morning I mounted the bins on the tripod and watched the whole lot topple over and break part of the focussing mechanism. Damn! |
