Date / Time	Fri 15th Sept 2006 [21:00 - 00:30]
Location	Site B - Sliuce
Observers	Gary McGrory, Paul Stephen
Weather	Very damp due to high rainfall on previous days and proximity to running water. Approx 40% high cloud dispersed around 22:30.
Moon	Waning crescent - Hidden completely by trees to the E & NE
General Comments	Sky nice and clear. Milky Way evident. A fair dome of LP from Glasgow to the north due to the high moisture content of the atmosphere (Also from Kilmarnock to the south). All in all we had a good night though we gave up when the dampness became too much of a problem.

Catalogue Name	Common Name	Constellation	Mag	Type	Comments
M73	n/a	Aquarius	9.0	Globular Cluster	failed to find this however found M72 in the process.
M72	n/a	Aquarius	10.0	Globular Cluster	Very faint elongated light patch. Actually not entirely convinced that it was M72 due to the mag as couldnt detect any other mag 10 targets.
