Observation Report For 9/19/2006
Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2006 10:59 pm
I decided to starwatch after a rainstorm and cool front came by. It made the weather cooler and less humidity. I took out my 8 inch telescope and starwatched under the magnitude 3.5 sky. The seeing was good. Here's what I saw.
Ring Nebula-Always looking good. At 98x, I can see a ring.
Dumbbell Nebula-Looks like a bluish-gray apple core.
Messier 13-First time to see it this year.
Objects I attempted to see.
Neptune-Tried looking for it. May have seen it.
Veil Nebula-Tried to look for it. I did not see it.
Overall, not bad for someone who has not starwatched in months.
