Day 139 of 365 - July 21st, 2012
This is my astronomy journal. My wife bought this for me several years ago to record my observations during my viewing sessions. Every now and then I take a look back on my past outings. Today I happen to turn the page to a clear night on July 18th, 2009. There were two things that stand out in that journal entry. The first one was the temperature. It was July and the temperature that night was in the low 50’s. That is a big difference in the climate when you fast forward to July 2012. The second one was my first observation of the planet Pluto. Yea, I still consider Pluto a planet, lol. It was fun reminiscing. Just like photography has slowed me down and revealed a world that had often gone unnoticed, writing in my journal adds substance to my viewing sessions and it makes for good reading on a cloudy night.
