12:30 to 3:30
Observers: Forest Pride.
Observed: M51, Albireo.
Notes: I realigned the telescope. In the processes I found that there is a small piece missing from the wedge mound that is needed to set the observing latitude. It is labeled #2 in figure 3 of the manual for the wedge mount. I put a link to the wedge mount on the telescope section of this wiki. There seems to be a problem with the Dec Setting Circle on the telescope, for some reason it will not fallow the scope when it is slewed in declination, but I have not figured out why this is. Anyone attempting to align the wedge should look through the eye piece while rapidly slewing in R.A to find 90° Dec.
