Tonight was clear enough to get a great view of the orion nebula. It's the first time i've seen anything like that and despite not having any filters i was impressed. Given there was no colour my daughter was a little indifferent. I've been trying to get a decent view of the orion nebula since i got my telescope but it's always been a little too hazy. I used a 10mm eye piece and the barlow. I could not get a good view with the 4mm eye piece and barlow which i think was more to do with the low quality optics than anything else. Hopefully i can get to see the rings of saturn next...
