I managed to get out and do a bit of observing last night. It’s been 4 months to do the day since my last opportunity to do so and I started off by making a rather large blunder. The location I usually observe at has several pads for observing and I have one I usually use. It’s straight down a path that points generally north which makes finding the north star fairly easy, even without looking for the big dipper to verify which star it is.<\/p>\n

Well, last night I looked for the star over where the path met the parking lot, but because I was on a pad a bit to the west of where I normally am, I accidentally aligned on Kochab, the second brightest star in Ursa Minor, and ended up making three observations over the course of a half hour before I realized the error. Fortunately, we still got in 11 observations, and all of them were new stars!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Overall, it looks like I was shooting about 1\/3 of a degree low last night. But this started to fill a gap in my data that’s existed since last year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
