Default How do you log your observations? (very long)

I've been round and round on this over the years. One issue that vexes
me is whether to organize my notes by date of observation or by object
being viewed. (or by constellation? or by type of object?)


I cleaned out my car today, the one I haven't drove in a year. In it I
found my first log book from 2002. It's a spiral bound 200 page pocket note
book (right size to fit in the shirt pocket but too thick to do so). On my
book shelf I have a string of Meade Composition wide ruled note books, I
bought each one after setting the last one down and forgetting where. In my
Observatory I have two more. Each of these log books only have a few
scribbles each and a couple of them have some drawings and if it were not
for finding that little note book I would have went out to buy another.

I'd like to have something that's easily organized and doesn't look like
every other note book around here. So, thanks to an ad in AstroMart, In
comes AstroLogs.com! I haven't bought anything from them yet but I'm
seriously thinking about it. Anyone have experience with their log books?
