"Observing Report for 18 October 2023 - a simple galaxy hunt"

KT4HX (Alan) was able to make a trip to his dark sky home in the highlands of western Virginia. After spending the day doing a bunch of necessary chores at the house he had the energy and perseverance to take advantage of the dark and mostly clear skies where he is blessed with views of the Milky Way.

Going into Pegasus and Pisces with his 17.5" Dob he captured a plethora of galaxies with his glass, some of which were first time targets. It's always consoling to know that there are so many up there that it would take a lifetime for the average observer to view them all.

Alan though is hardly an average observer so he has a good chance of seeing them all!

Congratulations Alan on receiving the VROD for the day for your excellent night of work.
