Mal, if this was a two hour session, mate, you ain't gonna sleep for a week when Virgo gets up higher!
I'll try for the trio you mentioned of 1553, 1549 & 1566 this weekend from home.
Have you ever considered having a go at a sketch? Your descriptions are typically very evocative of the target, a sketch would give it an added edge I would think.
Reticulum isn't a net though. It is after the reticle in Lacaille's telescope with which he measured the position of stars.
HOWEVER, it was previously known as the Rhombus, which is the geometric shape woven into nets,
.
I wonder what would happen if I called the old constellation Argo Navis the Whaling Ship? Man, you'd be able to hear the keyboards being pounded!
Argo Navis, hmmm. Might be a target selection for the March Obs. Challenge. Thanks Malcom!
