Venus: Just disappearing behind the house. Nice little crescent at 70x.
Back out at 22:30:
Mars: Seeing very poor.
Saturn: Titan, Rhea, and Iapetus are forming a perfect equilateral triangle. Best at 127x.
Supernova 2012aw in Messier 95 in AAVSO chart:
Spent most of the evening galaxy hunting, mostly old favourites in Leo and Virgo:
M65, 66, 95, 96, 105, 104, 87, 91, 88, 90, 89, 98, 99, 100, 64, 49, NGC4567, 4568, 4564, 4038, 4039. Then I rotated the POD to the east to catch M13, 57, and M56, and ended up with some double stars: Albireo, 17 Cygni, Zeta Lyrae, and Epsilon Lyrae.
Temperature = 7.5°C
