8-29-2022 TSS Visual Report of the Day.

by helicon

"Observing Report for 24 August 2022 - erratic conditions made for a long night (Part 1)"

Actually today we feature two reports, Part I and Part II from KT4HX (Alan). It was a night of poor transparency, but he headed out anyway after setting up the 17.5" scope. Picking up M13 and NGC 6207, he was able to gauge the degree of loss of transparency by gazing at the latter object. As it grew later and earlier in the eve/next morning he made a sketch of Saturn in Capricornus.

"Observing Report for 24 August 2022 - the wait was finally over (Part 2)"

After 1 am and heading to 3:30 am the sky had cleared and he spent some splendid hours observing galaxies in Lyra, Pisces, and Pegasus. The descriptions of the observations are detailed and excellent, and can serve as a roadmap for others determined to conquer this area of the sky! Congratulations Alan on today's VROD for Parts I and II!
