- Condition: G5
- Location: Home, Spearfish: 44.49, -103.87
Forecast was clear, but a very thin layer of whispy clouds formed and were dominating a good portion of the sky. I had to call off attempting NGC 2261 due to this. Hopefully I can catch it soon before it slips below the horizon!
- Target: V Hydrae
- Const: Hydra
- RaDec: 10h52m -21.22
- Type: Star (Carbon)
- Scope: AT102ED

Stunning color. Very red hue, almost to the point where it seems un-natural as if it was artificial. Not many of the carbon stars I've viewed were both this red and this bright.
- Target: Y Canum Venaticorum
- Const: Canes Venatici
- RaDec: 12h46m +45.18
- Type: Star (Carbon)
- Scope: AT102ED
- Setting: 55x
Lovely. I've been waiting for this one and it was worth the wait. Rich golden yellow with a trim of orange. Could be seen easily through the finder scope.
