A short comparison. I had the opportunity early this morning to finally test out my new 90mm Mak, which I got as a travel/spotting scope. While the seeing was...
I imaged Q2 Machholz and have a movie showing its motion across the sky during a 96 minute period. The comet was clearly visible under the full moon with the...

... first ... Yup - I've gotten a split on Rigel twice this week under good seeing conditions using my little 4.5" XT at 108X. The first time I thought it was...
Each year I like to take some time on New Year's Day to review my observational activities for the year just past. Once again this past year has been a poor...
The "E" and "F" stars in the Trapezium are variables, which adds to the challenge of observing them. Seeing conditions and the period determine whether you...
I’m a newbie. I started stargazing in early July, but found my observational half year comparable to Goeff’s full year. I logged 38 viewing sessions to...
Eddie, it's been pretty foul at this end of the Pacific too (in New Zealand). Looking at my log I have been out about three times in the last two months...
... That's something I forgot to mention in my review: except in September, virtually _every_ month the only clear skies here were around full Moon. Which ...
Nice going Crazy Eddie!!! I too started out this summer but didn't keep notes on what I've seen. I've seen about 30 Messiers myself. A lot of my sessions go to...
... When I started in astronomy, I kept pretty good notes for the first year, and then got sloppy. When I got back into astronomy thirty years later, I really...
I should have added some of my half-year's highlights. They included half a dozen sightings of Barn Owls flying overhead, a couple of Vs of geese passing...
Hi everybody and happy new year We have had bad weather in Denmark in December and I haven't had the energy to observe on the few cloudless nights because of...
I've kept many of my observing sessions in a sketch book (one of those blank pages books you get at a book store). I keep not only my sketches, but pictures of...
Thanks, Mark. Enjoyed your web page, and your 5 year-old son's comments. I logged my Messier Objects into Astrobyte software. Like Goeff and you, I wish I'd...
Well, my totals for the past year include 112 recorded observing sessions (occasionally I'll go out really casually and not take any notes). I haven't really...
Well, after buying my XT8 about a month ago, I've had several less than perfect observation sessions trying to get a good view of Saturn. After the arctic...
Howdy folks, I'm a total newbie to this hobby. ALthough I have been very interested over the years. I got a Meade DS90ATA scope for Christmas. With which I...
Yeah, after a front cold passes the observations I do here in Brazil are usually FANTASTIC, I live in southeast of Brazil, in São Paulo, where front colds...

Hello all. Just wanted to report an observation and ask a question. Just after the new year arrived here in Williamsburg, VA I tried out a (new to me) used eq...
A follow on to my previous post. I noticed one other thing I am a bit confused about. The dimming of the A band, which is generally called the Encke minimum,...

Skies cleared off around 10pm last night. I went out with binoculars and studied Comet Machholz for a while. The comet was an easy naked-eye object. I...
