Looking forward to more reports!

PS Tony, you don't know what you're missing til you do some obs notes - this from a convert.
Hey Patrick, yes I knew that. It's where I got it from because I always found it amusing

Hence this as well: http://www.demotivationalpics.com/di....php?pid=18421 ...

And I agree with you about reports, this is the first in depth report I've written and being a bit of a writer I enjoyed describing what I saw. I also know I can look back on my observations and recapture the memories of what I saw and how it made me feel at the time. All part of the fun of visual astronomy!
