Subject: [AZ-Observing] Messier Objects Imaged on 1/2 April at Hovatter Site

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...
