Managed to get out for 2 hours with the CGE 11 and clocked off a few messier objects, M13, M27, M35, M57, M71, the globular in Altair M? whirlpool and pinwheel galaxies, double cluster in Perseus and some other cluster in Cassopeia which I forget.
Its so easy to do this with a goto scope it almost takes some of the fun out of it but its much easier on my back and great if you have a limited time.

Sounds like a great night Trevor, you managed to bag some fantastic objects.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.
