Barnard's Star Observation Results
Barnard's Star Finder Chart Barnard's Star Observations I made four observations of Barnard's Star from August, 2022 through August 2023. Barnard's Star Movement Detected I enlarged the first and last observations from the above observing logsheet. All observations were done using a red light and the observing logsheet on my clipboard. The first observation I feel have duiplicate stars, due to the lifting and trying to reposition my pencil using the dim, red light. The scale of the first observation is a bit larger than the last observation.
Also, my home printer is having an issue. But it did print the star fields correctly. I cut the first starfield Field of View and rotated it a tiny bit to help align the A, B, C, and D stars to detect the movement better.
Regardless, I annotated the stars in both images that are the same stars. It can easily be seen that Barnard's Star is closer to stars A and B in the last sketch as compared to the first sketch.
