Observing Reports by Knuck

Okie -Tex 2011

This was my major star party for this year.  The weather was not as perfect as it has been in past years.  Every night was plagued with bands of clouds that seemed to materialize directly over the observing field and take a good while to dissipate.  I’m sure it drove the imaging folks wild.  It didn’t have as much of an effect on the visual observers.  I was particularly pleased with my sketches of the Great Nebula of Orion and the Veil.  I think I’ve made some progress in two years.

Here is the observing report and the sketches.
