[AZ-Observing] Re: Other pictures from Vekol 2 weeks ago

     Yes, these are terrific images.  I have an additional reaction,
however.  The Takahashi astrograph looks like a great instrument to
do photometric surveys with.  Rather than concentrating on some
well-known objects, I'd rather (or also) like to see Jon take piles of
images of star fields along the Milky Way in two filters (the standard
Johnson B and V or V and R would do) and cover as much sky as you can
on every clear night you have the time, Moon or no Moon, from the 
city backyard or dark site.  Have somebody who's savvy with photometry
software churn through the images to produce star-lists with RA/Dec,
magnitudes, colors, and a date.  Make those lists searchable on the
Web, so folks interested in variable stars can use the data to produce
lightcurves and follow new objects as they appear.  Could Gene and/or Jeff
set up something like that?
