The portal / Observing log
Your memories of the sky

Every night
leaves a trace.

A detail in a crater, a galaxy finally found, a target to revisit: keep a record of your observations.

Preparing your log…

A few useful habits

Describe before comparing

Record what you actually see before consulting a photograph. A target that is not detected is useful information too.

Return to the same target

Compare lighting, sky conditions and magnification from one session to another. The log’s filters help you find your attempts.

Keep a copy

Export the JSON after a series of observations. This file contains your locations and notes: you decide where to keep it and whom to share it with.

Method inspired by the observing advice in Steve Cimolino’s volume II. The log is limited to 1,000 sessions; actual capacity depends on the storage available in your browser. Fields do not accept attachments.
