| Remarks | I was with members of the Eugene Astronomical Society, at one of our observing sites, we call Eagle's Rest. I am estimating time etc from memory, I didn't take notes, but wish I had. I revisited the site today with a compass and clinometer and measured where I thought I saw it in the sky. |
