Tom, AJ, et al;
I went for all the objects in Burnham's north of -40 degrees. That
included some galaxies in Piscis Austrinus and constellations like that
were pretty difficult, even on a good night at Sentinel. I did not count
the absolute total, I think it was something like 1590 objects. I did
them with the 13 inch Newtonian. I would dearly love to spend enough time
in Australia to get all the the objects in Burnham's that are in the far
southern sky. But...probably won't happen.
I am interested to hear that there are H 400 objects not in Burnham's, I
would have thought that they would all be included. But, what do I know?
Clear skies to us all;
Steve Coe
