Several attempts to photograph the coverage of the Pleiades by the moon (took the Sony RX10 M4, instead...). In between and afterwards, I did the following observations:

NGC 2169 (Little Pleiades, 30 min rec.): 9:20/19.52; aborted after 15 min IT because of fuzziness (9:40); started anew at 9:44, immediately stopped, refocused and observation restarted; start at 9:47/19.82; end at 10:17/19.88 after 20 min IT
NGC 2194 (manually): Start at 10:30/19.89; end at 11:18
M 84 (30 min rec.): Start at 11:35/20.0; 11:47/20.0 (moon gone); end at 0:26 after nearly 32 min IT

IC 2574 (Coddington's Nebula; manually): Start at 8:54/17.5; 9:18/19.0; 9:42/19.5 (30 min IT); 10:44/19.6 (1h); 23:48/ (1:30h); .end at 0:37 a.m. after 2 h IT

Initially wrong try with Leo I/Regulus... >> stars cannot be used for DSO observations, seems to be a different mode...
NGC 3607/3608/3632 (manually): Start at 9:11/18.0; 9:41/19.0 (20 min IT); 10:00/19.15 (32 min); end at 19:20 after 45 min IT
M 102 (manually): Start at 10:26/19.1; 10:55/19.35 (20 min IT); end at 11:10 after 30 min IT
M 98, 99, 100 (30 min, mosaic): Start at 11:14; end at 0:40 after nearly 56 min IT

Initialization at about 8:55/16.3 p.m. (a little more than half moon), worked ... dew cap attached after initialization; Gitzo tripod fully extended; BalENS ON!

NGC 5907(06)/08/05/5879/M 102 (Knife Edge Galaxy, 30 min rec.): Mosaic (2.4° x 2.4°); start at 9:02/17.0 (not measureable because of the moon...); 10:00/18.0 (ditto...); end at anbout 11:00 p.m. after 1:20h IT and nearly 1.5 runs
NGC 5982 (Draco Trio, 180 min rec.): Start at 11:03; 0:20/19, 53 min IZ; end at 0:30 a.m. after 60 min IT

Initialization at about 9:15/17.75 p.m. (nearly full moon), worked ... dew cap attached after initialization; Gitzo tripod fully extended; BalENS ON!

NGC 2129 (manually, Stellarium coordinates*; with M 35 and more): Start at 9:22/18.0; end at 10:14/18.2 after 34:40 min IT
Leo Quartet (120 min rec.): Start at 10:17/18.2; 10:55/17.8, clouds; end at 11:54 p.m. after 62 min IT

Initialization at about 9:00/15.85 p.m. (nearly full moon), worked ... dew cap attached after initialization; Gitzo tripod fully extended; BalENS ON!

NGC 2281 (Broken Heart Cluster, 30 min rec.): Start at 9:05/16.6; 9:30/18.9 (17 min IT); end at 9:50/19.8 after 30 min IT
