June 19, 2022Last night the sky was mostly clear. It was also a bit cooler than it has been in the last couple weeks, once the Sun went down it cooled to the low 70s pretty quick and was in the mid-60s when I…
EAA – 06/04/2022 – CN June 2022 Observing Challenge…
June 5, 2022I uncovered the scope in the late afternoon and hoped for the sky to clear, it mostly did. Mostly clear night, a few high thin clouds moving quickly across the sky, temperatures in the lower 70s. My plan was to hunt for…

May 30, 2022Another warm, clear night. Temperatures were in the mid to lower 70’s and it was a little less humid than the night before. My plan was to try to pick up a few more of the Messiers over in the area of…
EAA – 05/28/2022 – Just Looking Around…
May 29, 2022A warm, humid, clear night. Temperatures in the mid-70’s and lots of mosquitos. If it was not for EAA I probably would have been eaten alive. I started out the night with not much of a plan, but I did want to…

Logging my Observing Sessions
May 19, 2022I keep a log book of all my observing sessions. Some of my logs are more detailed than others, but I always keep a log. There are a number of different astronomy log books out there, but my log books are just…
EAA – 05/17/2022 – First Light for the SV503 – Galaxies, Globulars, and more…
May 18, 2022Last night we had the first clear skies in a very long time. I think it has been 10 days or so since the last nice clear night. Clear skies, mild temperatures in the lower 70s, and just a bit of humidity…
EAA – 04/24/2022 – Supernova in NGC 4647
April 25, 2022Last night was another nice warm and clear night. Earlier in the day I had read a CloudyNight’s post about EAA capturing a supernova in the galaxy NGC4647 which was discovered on April 16, 2022. This was the only target I had…
EAA – 04/23/2022 – A Few Wide Field Galaxy Groups
April 24, 2022Another warm, lower 70s, dry, and clear night. I decided to change out the Celestron C6 SCT for the Astro-Tech 66mm Refractor and hunt out some wide field galaxy groups. Enjoyed EAA observing of the Leo Triplet, a piece of the Virgo…
