Time: 9:30PM-11:30PM

Great Nebula in Orion (M42):
M42 cleared the water tank around 9:30 PM.
Mag: 4.0.
Alignment: Auto two-star. Betelgeuse (Orion) and Sirius (Canis Major)
Very clear view

Open cluster NGC1981:
Mag: 4.6.
Alignment: not realigned
Very clear view. Almost exactly like in this photo.

Note: Auto two-star align failed later in the night when Orion was almost at Zenith. The eyepiece obstructs movement of the scope when pointed to zenith. Shifted to one-star align (Rigel).

Opencluster M36:
Mag: 6.3
Very faintly visible.
