;D Hello again, astronomy fans! Last night I got down to the Flatin Farm and was set up by 7:30. Venus was my first target, and while it is still too low for really good observing, it sure is noticable after sunset. Jupiter had a nice spread of all four moons, two to each side, I caught NGC 6638 the globular cluster near Lambda Sagittarius (they can both be seen in the same FOV) for my Herschel 400 quest before the Moon came up. I now have 190 of the 400.
After the Moon rose, I got in looks at Uranus and Neptune, and then journaled Sinus Asperitatus for the Lunar II list. It's the area between the Sea of Tranquillity and the Sea of Nectar.
What really made the night special was a VERY bright circumpolar satellite that cruised through Cygnus, Cepheus and crossed right over Polaris at 8:06 p.m. (It started to fade by then). I wonder what it was?
Oh, and listening to the Twins beat the Rays was pretty neat, too! They're not done yet! 😀
AGNFA!
