johnridleyIt's been over a year since I touched my telescope. This is kind of embarrassing, since it's quite a nice scope and to leave it unused for so long is a shame.
Anyway, I lost my Skytools logs in the drive crash earlier in the year. I still have the ones on the website, but I figured with as long as it's been for some of them, I might as well start over on the Herschel 400 list.
Today's targets: NGCs 7004, 6866 and 6834. I went for a galaxy as well but left it too long and the moon was up, so no chance at all. Even the PN was a little tough with the moon, the neighbor's lights, and the cars driving by.
Eventually the moon forced me in but I expected that. Just for the heck of it I tagged M57, 56, 92 and 13 with the scope, then the double cluster and a few double stars with the binoculars before going in.
