3-16-2023 TSS Visual Report of the Day.

by helicon

"NIght Vision Astronomy!"

Today's featured report is courtesy of Unitron48 (Dave) who managed a great session at the observatory with outreach guests including a couple of youngsters and a few more experienced folks. Noteworthy is the fact that the 30" Obsession at the observatory is no more, it having been sold by its owner. However, there is still a 20" Dob available so that became the evening's primary instrument.

Probably the most exciting thing is that one of the guests brought a night vision eyepiece which greatly aided bringing out faint features and details in nebulae and galaxies, leading to a very satisfying experience.Congratulations Dave on the fine session and on winning the VROD for the day!
