Coe

by William G. Schultz


I began observing in earnest after the moon set and stayed till dawn. My goal for logging 15 H400-1 objects was achieved. Objects logged included:

In Virgo: 4371; 4378; 4435; 4452; 4472; 4526; 4546; 4550; 4551; 4665; 4698;

In Ursa Major: 4500; 4605; 4814

In Bootes: 5248

Cool, breezy and dry conditions persisted until I left. Seeing was considerably softer than the Friday with the wind. Transparency was good after the moon set. Cloud eventually attenuated the light domes from Morgan Hill, Gilroy and San Jose.

There was some dew in the lower valleys. Dusting was a minor problem, but no rocks were blowing around.

I've now completed 91% of the H400-1 list, having begun at Fremont Peak on June 24 of last year.
