Observing Log for Mike Durkin 4/30/16 about 10:00-11:00PM Locust Valley, NY Transparency: 8/10, Seeing 3/5 Temperature: 40-50 degrees Equipment: Hutech modified Canon Rebel T3i DSLR photometery of ε Leo. I was going to do Z UMa as well, but the clouds finally came in. 4/23/16 about 9:00-11:00PM Locust Valley, NY Transparency: 9/10, Seeing 2-3/5 Temperature: 50-60 degrees Equipment: Hutech modified Canon Rebel T3i and Stellarvue 70mm refractor DSLR photometry of ε Aur, ε Leo and Y Lyn. I was also going to try to do Z UMa again to see if my color corrections would make it a little more accurate, but I heard a couple of animals fighting again so I skipped it. 4/17/16 about 8:30-11:00PM Locust Valley, NY Transparency: 8-9/10, Seeing 3/5 Temperature: 50-60 degrees Equipment: Hutech modified Canon Rebel T3i and Stellarvue 70mm refractor DSLR photometry of ε Aur. Visual measurements of α Ori, η Gem, RS Aur, X Aur and Z UMa. Also took a look at Jupiter and the moon with the Stellarvue before I finished up. With the 17mm eyepiece, could easily see that there were 3 or 4 moons, including 2 that were fairly distant from the planet. On the moon, the main feature seen was creater Gassendi, which was on the terminator and had part of it's central peak illuminated. Sinus Iridium was also prominent.
