Thanks to everyone sharing their reports here

Attached file contains 35 Messier objects with brief descriptions, found throughout 5 different sessions (observing conditions also included in separate tab). I hope the format is ok !

Clear skies to you all

    Thank you, Jeff !

    You're right. It's really impressive what you can see from your own backyard. Senior AF members' advice has been critical to achieve it, as only a few months back I was unable to find anything other than easier targets. It's a pleasure to be part of this helpful and friendly community !

    But, best of all, I have enjoyed many of those DSOs along with my 14yr old son. which makes this amazing hobby even better
