Had a pretty good night with the 6-inch. Seeing was variable, sometimes choppy and sometimes ok after waiting a couple minutes for it to settle down. Viewed several challenging pairs in the mix. Observed for 90 minutes.
It will be clear the rest of this week. I'll probably observe with the 6-inch again tonight and hope seeing is good enough for the 20-inch mid-week.
16h 29m 24.47s -26° 25' 55.0" P.A. 277.00 sep 2.7 mag 0.96,5.40 Sp M1 dist. 169.78 pc (553.82 l.y.)
