Location: Cabin: 44.31, -103.88

Didn't pick my targets well tonight. The moon was at 65% and M35 was not visible due to it's proximity to the moon. By the time I attempted M67, the clouds were rolling in and obstructed my view of Cancer.

8:00PM

Target: M 45, Pleiades
Const: Taurus
RaDec: 3h48m +24°11
Scope: ST80
Setting: 32x, 48x

Quickly viewed M45 to check it off my Messier list at 32x and 48x.

8:15PM

Target: M 42, Orion Nebula
Const: Orion
RaDec: 5h36m -5°22
Scope: ST80
Setting: 32x

The nebula projection of M42 was very visible despite the moon.
