(IAAC) IAAC Messier Challenge!
This is a challenge to observers at ALL levels on the list!
Looking over the latest update of our Web archive, I noticed there are still
many objects of the "Bright and Beautiful" class for which we have no observing
logs (or too few) posted! Among these are a number of nice Messier objects, and
many others... See the IAAC Objects List at:
http://www.tiac.net/users/lewkaren/netastrocatalog/objectlist.html
for a complete listing of logs, by object name.
Below is a list of "Missing Messiers" from our current IAAC archive: do you
have an old log of one of these you'd like to share - or would you like to
target one of them during your next observing session?
Let us know what you find, and clear skies!
