An amateur astronomer’s visual observing log, recorded with an 8-inch Dobsonian under semi-rural skies in northern England.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-03 issue.
For
Amateur astronomers and visual stargazers
Worth noticing
The observer types up paper notebooks in batches; listed sessions span 2024 to 2026 and use UTC throughout.

Field notes

The author says the entries are being typed up from paper notebooks a few sessions at a time, so the list is intended to grow backwards. Four sessions are visible, dated from September 2024 to March 2026, with times kept in UTC to match the notebooks. The homepage places the observations at about 54° north in northern England and identifies an 8-inch Dobsonian; the notes focus on what appeared by eye rather than camera images.
