Observing Reports

Report - 01/26/2008

It's been a long time since the last log. it's not because I haven't been observing, it's just that
I've been too lazy to write a log...

Did some of observing and imaging of Mars, M42 and Saturn. Arianna also asked to see a ‘planet' so I showed her mars, which was sitting in the south-east at roughly 6:30pm. Also, Jan and Dallas did some visual observing Saturn and Mars.

Prime photography as well as eyepiece projection is a royal pain in the but with much better views obtained from visual observing. Unfortunately, visually, I can only push to about 240, which didn't give me a lot detail on Saturn, nor did it give anything more than a ‘big fuzzy blur' on Mars.

All in all, a good set of sessions.
