Description

This should have been the test for my upgraded Skywatcher 130PDS. I darkened the tube with a pitch black anti reflection colour. Due to its brightness and high surface brightness I aimed at NGC 4395 but I saw nothing... therefore I went back to C32. Some nasty high altitude clouds went over the sky but the TV and lights from my neighbours seem to cause less trouble now. With that amount of detail I feel well prepared for M51 and the globular clusters to come :-) Maybe it is bad processing, but I think I catched a glimpse on dozens of DSO's in the background...
