Observing Notesfrom the Tuckahoe IrregularsNo snow on the ballfield. Steve Long, JP Richard, Tim Milligan and myself were in the field tonight. The wind was pretty bad but there was a lot to see. Exceptionally clear and transparent skies. Some of the objects I observed were the Eskimo Nebula, M81 and M82, M109, M108, M97, NGC3193, NGC3190, NGC3185, M35 and NGC2158. The moon, Jupiter and Saturn were all great in between wind gusts. All in all compared to all the gray skies it was a welcome night. Douglas A. Norton |
