5-15-2021 TSS Visual Report of the Day.

by helicon

"A Night in the City"

Those observing from the City or nearby suburbs have a challenge with light pollution. Not only are there nearby lights from neighbors and/or streetlights, but there is a high level of overall skyglow which makes observing distended objects difficult-to-impossible. With that said, today we feature a report from The Wave Catcher (Steve) who managed to successfully observe several globulars from Bortle 8 skies using a 102 mm refractor. As you can see in the post, Steve has an effective light screen which is an essential for observing under those conditions. Congratulations Steve on winning the VROD for today!
