This has been a terrible year for observing. Last night was the second night that I’ve been able to get out and observe anything. It was only a so-so night on top of it, and I started getting kind of sore while I was out there.
One in a series of entries catching up on a serious backlog of Astro Logs.
Equipment: Orion Skyview 6 Deluxe EQ, OIII filter.
New objects observed: NGC 5866 (aka M102), NGC 7331, M73
Previous objects observed: NGC 7009, M31, M32
Notes: Catching up on a massive backlog of Astro Logs I let develop. Unfortunately, all I have are the notes I left on Twitter about what I saw. This night, though, I took better notes.
