   I took advantage of the clear and moonless (but still light polluted) skies last night to get some more exposure time on the Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex.

   For the second half of the night I did some more experimenting with using the Thirty Millimetre Telescope to go after galaxies. Most are too small to make for an interesting picture by themselves at this magnification, but with multiple objects in the field of view you can make something work.

   Here's the Sculptor Galaxy with the globular cluster NGC 288, and the Fornax Cluster of galaxies.
