Some Astronomical Observations

Here I am collecting some of my observations for the sake of demonstrating just what can be seen in a modest amateur telescope. Consequently this site isn't a huge resource of factual information or even guidance but is meant simply to show whomever may be interested that an abundance of astronomical phenomena can be observed in great detail with any telescope. My main instrument, used in many of these observations, is a 6 inch Dobsonian mounted Newtonian reflector, home built and in use since March '96.
