9/17/2024

This is the last report I plan on writing long after the fact. It was written on 9/27/2024. I am sorry if the quality of these reports seems to have been slipping. I am writing all of these on the same night, and it has been a pretty long day, but let's get back to the fun stuff. For this observation, I only have one picture I want to share. It is below.

This picture was taken right before a lunar eclipse. It was not especially noticeable in Milwaukee; only about 9% of the moon was covered at the top sliver. I didn't stay out that night for this because I was getting bitten by mosquitos. We had a similar issue yet again with the front corrector fogging up. I believe March 14th, 2025, will have a total lunar eclipse for Milwaukee. I will make sure to upload better photos then. Another thing I forgot to add earlier is that this picture was taken with a reducer to get the Moon fully into view.
