Observing Log for Mike Durkin 11/9/2004 about 12:00-12:30 PM New York, NY, about 45 degrees Transparency: 7/10, seeing: ?? 10x50 binoculars Went outside my office building to try to catch the end of the occultation. I was able to see the crescent moon, which was about 10% illuminated, but could not find Jupiter. While I was out there I bumped into Mike O'Gara, the president of AAA. 11/6/2004 about 10:00PM-1:00AM Oyster Bay, about 45 degress Transparency: 8/10, Seeing: 6/10 Celestron Ultima C8 PEC Started by taking some wideangle shots (100mm focal length lens) of the area around M31. After that visually observerd M77 in Cetus. Appeared as a small fuzzy patch surrounding a star. I'd estimate the size was about 5-10'. I also tried to see NGC 1055 which was also in the area, however I was unable to detect it. After that I tried taking some pictures of the Pleiades with the zoom lens at 260mm. The images that I took can be found here. Other Log Entries <-- 2003  Jan   Feb  Mar  Apr  May  Jun  Jul  Aug   Sep  Oct  Nov   Dec  2005 -->
