I know we did Fridays last time. The weather was bad, so I kinda forgot about it. The transparency tonight is looking suboptimal, and, given my options, I might just settle for hitting some binary stars. My best view is of the eastern sky, and most everything there right now is faint fuzzies, so I don’t have especially high hopes.

Tonight’s itenerary:

• Going to hit the Leo triplet again
• Going to hit Bode’s Galaxy again
• M94 -M48 -M44 -M67
• M3 if it’s high enough
• Gamma Leo
• Zeta Ursa Majoris

Probably off itenerary:

• Going to save the owl nebula and cigar Galaxy for a night with better transparency.
• I’m considering M84, M86, and M87 if they’re high enough, but given the conditions and relatively low altitude, probably not.

Anyone else getting their scopes out? What are you going to look at?
