Sounds like a great evening Daniel! Wondering when we will get such a night for a star party!  Someone must have purchased one doosey of an upgrade to cause all these clouds!  LOL!

Only stayed a couple of hours.? It was warm and dry with a slight breeze.? Patches of cirrus cloud were here and there in an otherwise beautiful sky. M51 was directly overhead so leaning against the SUV with 20x80's I could easily see spiral structure.? M101 was easy to spot. as well.? M10 and M12 globulars jumped out even in 10x50's in the middle of OPH which was still rising above the glow of SLC.? M68 in Corvus was getting low in the southwest.? M3, M4, and M5 rounded out the night for globulars.? DT
