8-23-2021 TSS Visual Report of the Day.

"A City Dweller Report"

Certainly there are challenges for urban stargazers in punching through heavy light pollution one finds in the city and suburbs, each of which appears to get more light polluted with passing years. However, the Wave Catcher (Steve) was able to get out with his 102mm refractor and chase down numerous double stars as well as the planets, and an open cluster (Graff's Cluster) to boot. He also spent some time in faint constellations such as Aries and Capricorn finding objects. As many of you know, faint grouping of stars are almost invisible from the city unless you grab a pair of binoculars. All and all an excellent report and congratulations on winning the VROD for the day Steve!
