Observing Notesfrom the Tuckahoe IrregularsMy stargazing for this weekend consisted of setting up my 10" dob in my driveway Saturday night. Views of both Jupiter and Venus were boiling probably due to their low altitude and my still cooling mirror. I then hunted down some bright Messier globulars 13, 92, 3, 5, 10 and 12. It had been a long day and the need for sleep got the better of me so I put the scope up around 11 pm. Walking back to the house I noticed the tail of Scorpius just above the horizon. I couldn't resist. I went back and got my 10 x 50 binoculars and took a good long look at M6 and M7 (two of my favorite bino objects) before heading off to bed. Keith |
