[sac-forum] Observing Recommendations for June & July

Here is a suggestion for some extra observing for the next 10 days or so.

The suggestion is to observe in Corona Australis, but only if you are up 
between midnight and 1:30am, when it is on or just past the central meridian.  
There's not much there, but here are some suggestions
    NGC6541 a globular cluster at -43° declination.
    NGC6723 another globular, but just across the border in Sagittarius so 
let's do it anyway!
    NGC6726/7/29 & IC 4812, bright nebulae and just 30' southeast of NGC6723.
    IC 1297 a planetary nebula located towards the eastern part of the 
constellation.
    Bernes 157 - dark nebula located at RA 19 02.9 Dec -37 08.
    Finally, just to get one more is the double star gamma.

Remeber all have very low declinations, around -40° so we'll have to wait until 
the constellation is near, or at, the central meridian.

The motivation for this is a "Call for Observations" article sometime in the 
spring, instead of the usual galaxies.  But we will need some observations for 
this to take place.  Next month I'll ask around, via e-mail, to see how much 
has been done and then make decision.

Keep in mind, if you don't get a chance this weekend, perhaps we can try this 
another time.  I'll keep you posted.
