Observing Log for Mike Durkin


9/10/2004 about 8:00 PM to 12:30 AM
Oyster Bay, about 70 degrees
Transparency: 7/10, Seeing: 6/10
Celestron Ultima C8

Went out to Oyster Bay to try to take some slide picures so I can use up a roll of film. Started by taking piggyback shots with my SLR of Cassiopeia and Cygnus. I was also hoping to get some crude shots of M31, but clouds moved in so I was only able to observe M31 and M32 visually.
I also finally managed to M52 is Cassiopeia. I'd estimate it was about about 5-10' across, and about 20-30 stars clusters with the Milky way also clearly in the background. I only got to really observe it for a couple of minutes because of clouds.
