Hello astronomy fans. I got out there again for 3 hours tonight. The transparency was great, but the seeing wasn't quite as good. I could still see the comet naked eye, but just barely, and only because I knew where it was. Binocular speaking, it's good and now only one FOV away from the Perseus Double Cluster. Tomorrow night they will be in the same FOV.
Telescopically Comet 103P Hartley is a nice object, but I've seen better comets. Still, when it comes to comets, observers can't be choosers.
Jupiter had just 3 moons tonight and I couldn't hang around to see the fourth one reappear. I also observed Uranus and the Helix Nebula. Also did a binocular tour of Ursa Minor.
I recorded NGC 188 in Cepheus tonight to start my Caldwell search. I've seen it before and it is an interesting, but somewhat obscure object. A very good astronomical history on it, however.
No observing tomorrow night. I'm going to watch the Twins kick the Yankees butts!
