Another clearish night

[Kimboman]

Hi I have just come indoors from another session of Persid meteor spotting.

The forecast for tonight (sat 12 ) is not favourable in my locale so I went out at 11.00pm 11/08/23 to try to spot the Persid meteors and saw seven  which were spectacular.

This time I also took with me a pair of 10x42 binoculars and enjoyed looking at the double cluster,M31 scanning the Cygnus area also spotting the coathanger and generally having a good sky scanning session.

Earlier Friday evening I also spent an hour looking at the Sun with my Coronado ,there were lots of surface detail including sun spots but there were only three small prominences visible a good session

Sounds like a lot of fun Kimboman, nice report 👍

You guys are lucky up north with all the major meteor showers, glad you enjoyed the Perseids!

Happy Observing

Joe
