Went out to the old Emma Cemetery today 33 36 40.30 N 101 24 42.46 W. I arrived 20 minutes after sunset, had my SCT C8 on its CG-5 goto mount. I viewed the Saturn Nebula and Blue Snowball, both were great targets and easy to see. There was a 1/2 moon making viewing difficult. I was able to split Iota Cass something I could not do with the st120. Around 9:30pm the wind came up and the temperature felt like 35F. I left at 9:40pm
