My galaxy quest from my heavily light polluted site began last night in earnest. My target was M81/82 with my Nikon 10x70 Astroluxe binocular. My results, I am sad to report, were inconclusive. With this fine astronomy binocular mounted on a tripod, there were moments when I could just barely detect an ever so faint small smudge of light that might have been this galaxy pair, but nothing I would be willing to take to court as evidence. The fact that I have seen this galaxy pair in binoculars hundreds of times and know where to look and what to expect is the only reason I didn't write this one off as a bust. However, being the devoted astronomer I am, I will try again, but, this time, I will hike over to a local park for a darker sky and take my chances with the muggers. How's that for dedication?
