RA 20h 40m to 21h 00m, Dec -09 to -15

Last night I observed and sketched two double stars as well as M72, M73, and an un-named (as far as I know) small asterism similar to M73.

The session actually began with a sighting of the International Space Station gliding across the sky. The ISS appeared to be somewhat brighter than Jupiter -- a rather brilliant, white, moving light in the sky. Of course, as the ISS entered the earth's shadow it rapidly dimmed.

The seeing was 'good' -- a '6' on the modified Pickering Scale. I used 477x for the seeing check.

My NELM was 6.5.

Observations and sketches were all made at 135x, though other magnifications were used at times.
