Excellent stuff, as usual, Dennis! 8)
This little comet sure is faint & hard to catch... (even though I believe Boattini is even fainter by now...)

Sulfuric Anodizing – provides excellent corrosion resistance; can be dyed to produce a variety of colors

Modified Hardcoat (Hard Coat) Anodizing – for parts with "high wear" functions, when hardness and wear resistance are primary specification needs

In addition to seven comets and hundreds of DSOs, I was able to observe a number of truly challenging objects for the first time including the infamous lensed quasar known as Einstein's Cross (in John Vogt's 32" ATM Dob at over 700x), three MASH nebulae, a certain unpronounceable and extremely difficult reflection nebula - Gyulbudaghian's Nebula (HH 215) - in Cepheus, and the exceedingly elusive zodiacal band.



Really glad to hear that you were able to enjoy viewing these "obscure" and extremely faint objects... it surely seems you had some amazing nights...

Clear skies Dave,


Ivan
