2012 Was a terrible year for observing. Logged 231 observations in five session, all of them in the first five months of the year. Had to cancel a planned astrovacation to southern France in late March due to urgent family matters. Decided to not plan any observing runs after May until I had my observing guides published. The day after I published my father passed away. The past two month skies have been cloudy. 2013 will be better, much better.
