[AZ-Observing] Re: Hicksons and Pals

Thanks Bill, just added NGC5529 to my observing list, somehow this nice 
edge-on had escaped my notice.  You were more sucessful with Pal 5 than 
I was, two nights ago I couldn't be sure I was holding it though I had 
the starfield correct.  Our skies are probably evenly dark, but I 
suspect your transparency is a bit better at higher elevation.  Might 
try again tonight if the weather holds.
