Heaven help us if we have to observe all the faint fuzzies first! I don't
know how Joe Goss ever did it! "The Heavens Declare" - a famous and favorite
of mine.
Thank you,

Jimmy, I was debating whether it's even safe to be imaging on the dark side.
Scripture says: "The Heavens declare the glory of of God", probably
referring to the Milky Way and showcase stuff. But then again it also
says: "The last (faint fuzzies) shall be first."

See what I mean! Already sneaking in Palomar objects, I rest my case!
As far as Achinal 1, I reviewed the star fields from last night vs. charts
and images. It looks like I was right on it but only saw four stars in a
"Christmas Tree" shape. Working in sky tools, I backed off the "seeing"
until it fit last night's sky and the four star appears to be about all one
could have perceived. Dean at Starizona sold me one of his Starlight Xpress
H9C's plus a Baader LPF for imaging. It's first light may be Achinal 1 from
ASDOG.
Thank you,

Jimmy, guess you've finally figured out I'm on the dark side. I needed a
finder chart for Archinal 1 and got it from the Digitized Sky Survey. Just
having the coordinates weren't enough. As for Palomar - they have already
been on the list. Palomar 8 in 2006 and Palomar 5 in 2007.
In addition to the 3 above, Ru 135 wasn't very easy either as was NGC7839.
Oh well, sometimes we need a nice challenge but without the cloudy skies.
Glad you enjoyed the comets. They were on my list but I had to cancel
observing plans at last minute.
