I kept an observing notebook for many years. Recently I pulled my 10-in f/4.5 Dobsonian telescope out of it's storage cabinet, dusted it off, fixed the ailing mirror cell, cleaned all of the optics except for the primary, collimated it and took it out for a spin.
It occurred to me to try logging observations with Twitter and maybe a blog. So here it is. This may not work too well. For one thing, I don't know if I can dim my phone display enough for it to be useful for entering notes when observing in the dark. However, in my driveway where I have a nearby street light and other lights, and I was looking at Jupiter, it worked okay.
As is often the case, this is an experiment.
