Sorry, I've been "in dispose" for the last week or so. I went out last saturday morning:

Time 4:30 AM MDT
Alignment spica and pollox

Viewed:
Planetary: Saturn, and Venus
Messier Objects:
M-44, 67, 48, 42,78

Galaxies:
M33 -triangulum galaxy
M31 -andromeda galaxy
Note: not sure I saw M33, faint odject that may have been obscured by light pollution.
A rogue cloud blocked me from these that I had planned for that evening:
M 47 & 46
M50
M41

We're in a pattern of clouds in the evening but clear by morning. Unfortunate because there are several objects I would like to observe before the evening sky leaves us. Still need to observe neptune, but I'll have to go into the mountains to get the darkest skies.
