Have not really posted an OR but had a fun night Monday out at the pads
at the peak.
Logged 30+ re-observations from my past observations in mostly 8" scope.
Conditions had 50% cloud cover of high thin clouds with bands open
between them or
in one area of the sky or another fairly large holes. (Non-ideal but
workable)
While observing objects in LEO I ran across something that I feel sure
was present but cannot explain it from my charts and info.
Centered at 10 47 04.9 +12 43 14 which is about 15' west of NGC3384
(very near M105) was
a very faint glow which appeared spherical with extremely low surface
brightness that from
other objects I was observing would say was close to mag 14 or dimmer.
This had a diameter of around 5'. Halfway between 3384 and the center
star of a line of 3
mag 8-9 stars just to the North West of NGC3384 and M105.
Perhaps I'll never know OR it was a bug on the lens ...
On the way home a mesquito hawk the size of a small hummingbird but much
lighter was buzzing around in my
van and startled me big-time on the road down from the peak. That being
another story ...
