Haven't seen any observing reports for aaages..

Let's get a few more happening!

Don't be shy, they don't have to follow any rules or formula.. you don't have to know all the technical names of what you're looking at or how to describe it.

If you'd like to use a bit of a structure, try and record things such as:

1) The conditions
2) The telescope and eyepieces used
3) The objects viewed
4) A brief description of what the objects looked like. Try high and low power eyepieces. How does the view change? Do you see more or less detail? If it's a nebula, try a broadband filter (if you own one). How does the view change?
5) (optional) throw in a sketch of what they looked like through the eyepiece

Hope to see a few more observing reports! Get out there and start viewing..

You'll be amazed at how much more notice you take of what's happening in the eyepiece if you're actually taking notes or drawing pictures. Try it for yourself.
