Jimmy, I was debating whether it's even safe to be imaging on the dark side.  
Scripture says: "The Heavens declare the glory of of God", probably referring 
to the Milky Way and showcase stuff.   But then again it also says: "The last 
(faint fuzzies) shall be first."

See what I mean! Already sneaking in Palomar objects, I rest my case! 

 

As far as Achinal 1, I reviewed the star fields from last night vs. charts and 
images. It looks like I was right on it but only saw four stars in a "Christmas 
Tree" shape. Working in sky tools, I backed off the "seeing" until it fit last 
night's sky and the four star appears to be about all one could have perceived. 
Dean at Starizona sold me one of his Starlight Xpress H9C's plus a Baader LPF 
for imaging. It's first light may be Achinal 1 from ASDOG. 

 

Thank you,

 

Jimmy Ray

Jimmy, guess you've finally figured out I'm on the dark side.  I needed a 
finder chart for Archinal 1 and got it from the Digitized Sky Survey.  Just 
having the coordinates weren't enough.  As for Palomar - they have already been 
on the list.  Palomar 8 in 2006 and Palomar 5 in 2007.

 

In addition to the 3 above, Ru 135 wasn't very easy either as was NGC7839.  Oh 
well, sometimes we need a nice challenge but without the cloudy skies.

 

Glad you enjoyed the comets.  They were on my list but I had to cancel 
observing plans at last minute.
