Re: (IAAC) NGC 7354 - 8" F/10
Yann
Thanks for these postings. I have drummed up a few observations of this
one and it is interesting to hear about the differences that people are
seeing. The contrast between established "standard" astronomical
sources and these newer ones.
I have drafted a interesting article that I will distribute among those
in the Yahoo! Planetary Nebula Group. This will be finished hopefully
in the next few days.
Again thank you for your usually excellent and precise reports.
Regards and Clear Skies.
