Hi, Harold, here's ONE of the Web sites! For some reason, AL does not sponsor
their own, dedicated Web page for this stuff... This site covers *all* of the
deep-sky observing programs the AL sponsors:
http://www.mcs.net/~bstevens/al/astrnote/astnot12.html
Below also is the complete list of target objects for the AL-BDS certificate.
You can actually see *all* of these with 7x50 binoculars, but the trick is that
you have to look from a *dark* site, and you need experience observing deep-sky
objects in general, to see the fainter ones...
Hope this helps! Clear skies,
Lew
