Clark points out that even the most casual celestial sight-seeing becomes more meaningful is a few notes are jotted down in a permanent record. It will remind you of all the things you've seen, the way you felt while observing, and the frustration and successes you've had with the hobby. And, most importantly, it will prompt you to observe more carefully and to see more when you observe. A notebook is your private record of the universe. Although at first you may have to adjust to updating it, the notebook will eventually contain unique records of your journey through the universe.
Astronomy offers great personal satisfaction.
It would be a shame if all those wonderful memories of your involvement with astronomy simply faded away with time. Thus there is no way to tell the scale of a drawng or the size of what was seen. Astronomy, June, 65. Astronomy, March, 62. Astronomy, August, 67.
