What a wonderful article. Love the variety of note taking styles. I started taking notes as after a few weeks of observing with an 8" I simply lost track of which objects I had already seen! I now have 4 volumes of notes in A4 Spiral Bound folders.
I also found that as the volume of observations grew, the issue of knowing what objects I had already seen also grew, so I started a computer database of all the objects with Catalogue numbers, info about them and dates of observations. At the end of each new moon observing "window" I print it out so I have a handy reference on the table when working out what to look at.
