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... -- Thanks, Howard, in Tempe AZ Http://www.astroshow.com http://www.AZcendant.com http://www.ShastaDaylight.com -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list. -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
