Observing Reports

Here at OVAS, we encourage all members to submit their observing reports for eventual posting on the web. Or if you post your observing reports on your own site, we’d be happy to link to them. For more information on how to submit reports to me see the bottom of the page.

So ride the trail of the stars and keep tabs on what the "dark sky gang" has been up too in their "astro touring" and astronomical adventures.

Just mind that you keep clear of the skunks … goats … and coyotes. Aawwooooooo.
