a backyard sky log, small telescope, lots of clouds
September
Had about twenty minutes before it slid behind the neighbour's oak. The rings were tilted almost flat this year, a thin bright line instead of the usual wide ellipse. Still made me laugh out loud like the first time.
August
Got up at four for a comet that was supposed to be visible low in the east. Found a satellite, two planes and a very confused cat. The coffee afterwards was excellent.
July
Spent a whole evening on a distant chimney in daylight getting the finder scope to agree with the main tube. Boring, but the next clear night everything landed in the eyepiece on the first try.
