Observing Log for Mike Durkin 7/29/2004 about 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM Waterfront Park, Freeport, about 70 degrees Transparency: 8/10, Seeing: 6/10 127mm Mak My first AOS public observing session at Waterfront Park in Freeport. Showed a couple of young girls the moon, which was about 80-90% illuminated. That got a big wow out of them. I also took a quick look at Jupiter, which was pretty low in the sky, and it was a humid day. Also set the scope on Alberio in Cygnus. Looked at the Ring Nebula (M57). Could not make out much detail. Just appeared as a green-grey smoky circle. Also tried ro resolve the double-double, but did not seem to split clearly. Also tried to find one of the globular clusters around Antares, but I was not able to find any. Other Log Entries <-- 2003  Jan   Feb  Mar  Apr  May  Jun  Jul   Aug   Sep  Oct  Nov  Dec  2005 -->
