Wednesday 28 September 2011

Weather: Clear but hazy
Time: 8:30-9:30pm approximately

It was a little bit disappointing tonight. It took me a while to align the telescope and there was this haze across various parts of the sky. Pretty much ruined it. Actually, the telescope is still out of alignment but I can compensate for that. It makes finding things a bit difficult though. The Southern Cross was partly behind the bush but I still managed to find the jewel box. I tried to find M7, just off the tail of Scorpius but was unable to due to the haze. Also, my arm really hurts as I have bursitis. I still saw some constellations. Hopefully it will be a clearer night next time.
