The observation took place on Oct 10. There is religious content, so don't go there if you don't like that. It was a busy night during the observation. We had about 20 people come and go on NSN and most of them hung in there for the 1.5 hours of observing/sketching.

Hope to get out tonight. We have been sort-of rushed with ministry things and bad weather. Hope to put up tonight. Would like to catch the Coat Hanger Cluster again with a binocular. It's always fun.

Lost a little structure and detail compared to using the 12.5 Dob but otherwise it was just a pleasure.
