Astronomy Observation Journal by Target Piero Dalle Pezze May 21, 2017 Abstract This document contains my observation reports by target. This file was generated using Java soft- ware tool AstroJournal (http://pdp10.github.io/AstroJournal/) and pdflatex (http://www.tug.org/texlive/). AstroJournal imports files containing astronomy observation reports. Once imported, it generates a comprehensive LATEX document which is then exported to PDF using the utility pdflatex.
