• Condition: VG5
• Location: Home, Spearfish: 44.49, -103.87

Another incorrect forecast. The clouds parted just before sundown.

08:36PM

• Target: UU Aurigae (HD 46687)
• Const: Auriga
• RaDec: 06h38m +38.25
• Scope: AT102ED
• Setting: 55x

Very bright. It could be seen glowing yellow through the finder scope. Very golden color.

08:45PM

• Target: V Aurigae (HD 44388)
• Const: Auriga
• RaDec: 06h25m +47.41

Faint, but ruby red color.

09:02PM

• Target: NGC 2403, MCG 11-10-7
• Const: Camelopardalis
• RaDec: 07h36m +65.36
• Scope: AT102ED
• Setting: 55x, AV

Image

Quite faint. Almost undetectable without AV. There appears to be a bright speck of a core that cannot be seen without AV.

09:17PM

• Target: NGC 2655, Arp 225
• Const: Camelopardalis
• RaDec: 08h55m +78.13

Took some time to see. Had to let my eyes relax. Finally, with prolonged AV I got a faint impression. Mostly circular, but might be slightly elongated NE to SW.
