| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | STEWART C |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Was showing 100 people Sirius at a public event when it crossed same patch of sky! Too busy guiding to have made strong mental note. Used memory of position and Stellarium to find altitude, if I had concentrated on the memory this would provide accurate bearings, you might recommend the technique for more advanced observers. |
