11:10pm PDT Started getting
elongation at 173x. My best view was at 327x (7mm with barlow) during
brief
moments of stillness. Even at that I would only call it elongation with
some
definition but not exactly a figure "8". Perhaps two jiggly lumps in
an oval. (?) Ambience: Mostly still,
usual porch lights, tree's,
shirt-sleeve warmth, waxing gibbous moon. |
