stovesy Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I'm was wondering how folks record or take notes during observing, or afterwards, and thought I'd mention an iPad app I frequently use. It's called Notability and is great for sketching, handwriting and typing. I syncs with Dropbox and other stuff, and i've started to use it for a bit of sketching etc during observing. I have sent the authors some feedback regarding a dark adapted eye friendly theme which is a drawback currently. Well worth a look I'd say. http://www.gingerlabs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthic Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I've got an app on my Android devices that darkens and reddens the display, Night Filter. I'm not sure if there is anything similar for fruit powered units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I sometimes scribble notes or put them on e-mail so that I can post them in my blog to go with any photos or drawings I've done: http://sungazer127mak.blogspot.fr/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I still use a pencil and notebook, been using one for 50ish years They dont use batteries, wont blast your night vision away and you can sketch on it. Simpler, more vesatile for note taking and cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never sold anything yet. I once traded some spare book copies for an SPC880. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
