We are the Erie County Mobile Observers Group! This blog was set up so that we can build up a repository of members' Observing Reports. Please feel free to contribute your observations so future generations can benefit from our vast knowledge :-)
Although we would like the reports to be free flowing, there are a few bits that should be included in every post. Namely,
- Date and Time: (Tuesday 02/10/09 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM)
- Location: (State Game #162)
- Equipment: (6" f/8 Dob)
- Catalog # and Common Name: (M13/NGC6205 Great Globular Cluster in Hercules)
- Notes: (Spectacular Globular Cluster)
It would also be great if our members could estimate the transparency and seeing conditions (transparency was great and seeing was average).
We will take all observations, from all sites, from naked eye comet reports out your back window to a full night's report with the 30". Also please report any "failed sightings" so that we may understand the conditions/equipment necessary to bag that challenge object.
Other than that, toss your inhibitions to the (solar) wind and let your fingers run wild :-)
Clear Skies,Bill
I, like John, am pleased to join the ECMOG Blog. I am an Amateur Astronomer and I reside in Erie Pennsylvania. I look forward to posting my observing logs on the ECMOG Blog and hope that all find them to be useful (and maybe even comical).
ReplyDeleteSpecial thanks to Bill Mitchell for taking the time to create our Blog (looks Great)!
