Observing Log for Mike Durkin
7/31/2026 about 11:00PM-12:00AM
Locust Valley, NY
Transparency: 6-8/10, Seeing 4/5
Temperature: 70-80 degrees
Equipment: Hutech modified T3i
DSLR photometry of T CrB. I had planned to also do P Cyg and CH Cyg, but clouds came in and
started to interfere.
Again, I also think I saw a satellite flare up in the general area of the constellation
Corona Borealis.
7/25/2026 about 10:00PM-12:00AM
Locust Valley, NY
Transparency: 7-8/10, Seeing 4/5
Temperature: 65-75 degrees
Equipment: Hutech modified T3i
DSLR photometry of T CrB, P Cyg, and CH Cyg. Some clouds started coming in while I took some images
of CH Cyg, but I don't think they had any impact.
I also think I saw a satellite flare up a bit near Deneb roughly around 11 PM.
7/19/2026 about 10:00PM-11:00PM
Locust Valley, NY
Transparency: 7/10, Seeing 4/5
Temperature: 65-75 degrees
Equipment: Hutech modified T3i
At the tail end of the days with smoke from fires in Canada. Earlier in the day, the sky never seemed
very clear, although in the evening it looked clear enough. Maybe there were still some faint
clouds I could not see at night.
DSLR photometry of T CrB and P Cyg.
