Tonight, I got my third night of clear skies in a row, which is a rarity in Ohio during the winter. So I spent most of the night observing Saturn, both with and without a #80A filter. I also spent some time on M51, the Owl Nebula, and Comet Lulin. Below is a sketch I made of Saturn tonight.

Sean: hey dont foget the beehive is in this part of the sky,albeit ,further west.
Last night I checked out the Beehive and the smaller cluster in cancer,plus Saturn,I was tired to the bone and before I knew it the 4 was "frosted" over lol.
Yeah, I didn't have too much frosting problems last night, but there were some high thin clouds to contend with. This made observing DSO's real spotty. Saturn was at least bright enough to cut through the poor transparency...
Clear skies!

Great sketch, Sean!
What does your sketch of March 14, 2009 signify exactly? The reason that I ask is I googled Astronomical Phenomena for March 14, 2009 because, very peculiar feeling moments (unrealness) happened, almost an onlgoing mystical feeling when I was walking a trail at dusk with a friend in Portand, Oregon. We both felt it, it was like magic and we can only conclude that something was happening in the universe and maybe dusk is underated?! you can post me what you think if you want or email me at elaineallen8@yahoo.com if you aren't to busy. Thank you for any time that you may have to consider what I have questioned!
