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:

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...

Howard, in Tempe AZ
