Thanks for your observing notes. Your Algorithms made me smile a bit, as I tend to do that too. Do you find these actually work when you re-read a year later? ...
... Indeed. I think they are some of the most useful things to remember. When people are lined up to look though your scope, it does no good to say "it will...
... LOL! By 3am... I'm no longer sure which end of a scope has a telrad. Algorithms like Pat's are always a good idea. All else can break down, and you're...
I think that's the arabic pronunciation: Would be nice to compile a huge list and stick it in the OAFS recipe section! Sounds like a good cloudy night activity...
Just out of curiosity, Pat, I entered NGC6991 in Guide8 and nothing actually shows up. The position shows up, but no symbol and number saying it is 6991. So...
Spooky clusters? The only thing scary about them is I spend far too much time at Nirvana knocking them off my list! Maybe tough to find, but there are 2 of...
Cool link, Ross! I notice that there's a peppering of small stars showing in Guide8 at the location of the OC that has the nebulosity. So I guess there is...
Likely the authors of Guide 8 considered their data to be erroneous for these two locations for very boring OCs ... so left it out. If you navigate up the...
No Rol, it's just Sue French being a bit coquettish I suppose. WOnder if she got a deluge of irate letters! BTW, Ross' post was excellent! I vote for William's...
The whole thing looks like a mess. According to the link Ross provided William Herschel saw it at 20h55m39s +47º26'54" which is in the area of the IC5076...
... Excellent idea! And since the point is that nobody show up for that party, we could have it on a planet orbiting one of the stars in NGC 6991. That way,...

Just wondering... During session # 520 last nite. Approx. 10:35pm From my b.y. in Orleans. One of the brightest FIREBALLS I've ever seen. From my site, it...
Actually I'm not sure what that brightness would be. I guess the sun, not the moon, is mag -27? Not sure where to find full moon mag. Halfway between full moon...
Found it! Full moon's magnitude is V = –12.6 So, I estimate Fireball approx. -8 or -9 Very bright... almost like a flare. OK... enough about the fireball,...
