11/22/95 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM EST
Seeing...counted 14 members of the Pleiades with the naked eye which means visibility was down to mag 6.8. Can this be for real? Could not locate DeVico. Observed 1 blue-green Taurid mag -2 and 2 sporadics. Other objects that I Observed were M42, Pleaides, Double Open Cluster, M31 area, IC404, and the Ring Nebula.

Photographed the triple conjunction of Mars, Jupiter and Venus. Then the clouds struck. Hope the picts turn out...

Observed 1 meteor Leonid and 1 South Taurid before heading to work. I also observed a very bright (mag -2) Satellite that was either the STS-74 or the Mir.
11/17/95 7:00 PM EST
Observed 1 meteor that was most likely a Leonid. Then the clouds slammed the sky shut.
11/09/95 6:30 PM EST
Briefly observed the Comet DeVico. The visual magnitude was 7.0, DC=3 Coma was around 7.5 arc minutes. The tail extended to the north. After a few minutes of observing, the encroaching cloud deck removed all traces of the comet from my eyepiece. bummer

Moon Dogs! Full Moon.
Partly cloudy, high cirrus clouds with a lower scattered cloud deck, jet trails out the kazoo. There was a fairly good display of moon dogs. I only saw one ring at 22.5 degrees from the moon. My brother saw several different rings, arcs and spikes. This afternoon I observed a rather brilliant sun dog. Time to keep the camera handy.
