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

    Start time: 25 April 2003 11:30p End time: 26 April 2003 1:30a
    Telescope: LX200 GPS 10"
    Oculars: 26mm plossl, 17mm Nagler
    Using the Orion Deep Map 600 to find what might be in the holes in the
    clouds.
    Kendrick at 70%

    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.
