Observing Log for Mike Durkin 10/11/2009 about 8:00-10:00PM Locust Valley, NY Transparency: 7/10, Seeing 4/5 Temperature: about 50 degrees Equipment: Stellarvue 70mm refractor, 10x50 binoculars I observed a couple of variable stars. I also observerd M31 briefly while starhopping, it seemed a bit dimmer than I was expecting. I was trying to find AF Cyg, which should have been much easier than it was. I probably had it in the field of view of the binoculars, but I wasn't really familiar wth the scale of the star chart. I also seem to have misplaced my regular Nikon binoculars, so I was using the cheap Celestrons. Hopefully, I will find them since the Nikons feel like they are much better built. It started clouding over at about 10 PM Other Log Entries <-- 2008 Jan  Feb  Mar  Apr  May  Jun  Jul  Aug  Sep  Oct   Nov  Dec  2010 -->
