Observing Report -- October 3, 2015
04 Oct 2015Tonight I went up to Seymour Mountain, on the assumption that the forecasted fog would surely come sooner to Boundary Bay. I went through one of Sue French's columns (Lacerta, pg 249 of "Deep Sky Wonders") in a semi-systematic way; this is one of the first times I've done this, despite having her book for a couple of years now.
NGC 6934: Faint glob, but obvious when I looked. The Intelliscope was pretty much rockin' tonight.
NGC 6928: Maybe might have maybe seen this with averted vision. Even with a 10" Dob, faint galaxies are still a challenge (read: you ain't gonna see a mag 12 spiral no matter how small it is.) Spent a lot of time trying to get this.
NGC 7006: Another faint glob. Lovely, though ghostly.
Uranus: Hurrah, found it! Boy, it's small. Still beautiful, though. Couldn't track down Neptune.
There were some other objects seen, but those were the highlights.
