RA 20h 00m to 20h 20m, Dec -09 to -15

Four double stars were observed, split, and sketched in this region of sky last night. Seeing was 'good' (a '6' on the modified Pickering Scale). Temperature was +52 degrees F (+11 C). The 13cm refractor was used on an equatorial mount with clock-drive engaged.

My long-term goal: to cover the entire sky visible from my location - recording all visible objects of interest using my 13cm refractor. This isn't a new goal. Instead it's a revision of an earlier goal with a bit of modification. Time will tell if this 'new' program can stay alive.
