Obs Notes 25/9/10

Hi everyone,

There was high cloud all day today and as the sun set it cleared up to my suprise.

I set up the scope and observed Venus which was a beautiful crescent phase which shone brightly.

As i was just looking at the sky i saw a bright dot and realised that it must be the iss coming over.I had a 6.5mm ep in the scope and i thought i'd try and view it and so i did.i tried a few times and didn't get it until this one time when i had it for 5 seconds before it went into the trees.
It was Awesome i could see the solar panels and all it was very bright,its got to be one of the coolest things i've seen.

After that i had a look at albireo which is a beautiful double with orange and blue components.Then i looked at M27 which was cool.

Sorry about how short my report but i had to tell you guys about my ISS experience tonight as tommorow i wouldn't have a computer to tell you guys.

Regards Orestis
