Observing Log for Mike Durkin 3/19/16 about 12:00 midnight-1:30AM Locust Valley, NY Transparency: 6-8/10, Seeing 3/5 Temperature: 35-45 degrees Equipment: Hutech modified Canon Rebel T3i DSLR photometry of ε Aur. I also tried to do a new star, RU Crt, but there were too many scattered clouds. 3/6/16 about 6:00PM-9:00PM Berliner Hall, Hofstra Univeristy, Hempstead, NY Transparency: 8/10, Seeing 3/5 Temperature: 35-45 degrees Equipment: 11 inch Celestron SCT with GPS. Public outreach seassion at Hofstra University on the roof of Berliner Hall. Professor Lubovich had me point one of the Hofstra 11 inch telescopes at the double star h3945 CMa (145 CMa, also known as the winter Albereo. The colors looked orange-yellow and blueish, although it wasn't quite as impressive as the real Albereo. That might have been because the star was a bit low in the sky. Also during the night I looked at Jupiter and M42. There were a couple of attendees that liked that. I would say that about 20-40 people came to look through my scope.
