- M42, M43 (Orion Nebula) - Spent some time looking closely at wispy detail.
- Rigel - Just a quick look to align laser, finder, and main scope.
- M79 - First sighting. Star hopped to it. I'd describe it as a "smudge" when viewing under moderate power using 27mm Orion Edge-On (44x). Very faint and no detail really visible from my location. I was pleased that I could find it at all.
- M41 - Quickly caught another look.
- Saturn - First time seeing this planet again in my own scope since the mid-1980's. Rings close to edge-on, so less impressive than 20 years ago. Could see a few faint small moons along the ring plane.
