Bill, sounds like you folks had a good time. Our estimates for SN2004et ranged from 12th to 14th mag and that's without a chart with calibrated field stars. I've got a calibrated chart already and am ready this time, hopefully to re-observe at All Arizona Star Party. Hope many of you folks can make it there. Friday night, author Phil Harrington will be there. Sounds like the makings for a great time.
