Howard, 

Very nicely done trying to obviate the observer! I can see a lot of work went 
into your project. I enjoyed visiting your website to see your image gallery 
(great for one night's worth of work!). I also enjoyed reading about the 
problems you had and how you solved them - just the engineer in me! I look 
forward to see how you improve next year. 

Now that you've proved the concept and laid the foundation, you might want to 
try a globular cluster marathon. There's about the same number of globs as 
there are Messier objects and I understand there is a time of the year 
(probably in summer, unfortunately for here) that you can do it. Just 
thinking...

Clear skies, 
Wayne (aka Mr. Galaxy)

Hi,

OK, I have posted the images I took on 1/2 April out at the Messier 
Marathon at the Hovatter site:

http://www.astroshow.com/ccdMessierMarathon/MM.html

M74 was right on the edge of my frame due to atmospheric refraction.  
Questionable...
M27 had a type-o so I was off-target.  (Only by 1 hour of R.A.!   Why
couldn't the type-o have been in the "seconds" field instead of the 
"hours" field.  :-)  )

Anyway, was lots of fun and the culmination of LOTS of work in the
3 to 4 weeks preceeding the event.

Have corrected the type-o and will plan to do this again next year.

Overall, I am pretty happy with the results...
