Before moving to Tassie I lived in Perth and belonged to the Astronomical Society of Western Australia (ASWA.) ASWA's Council started up a quest for Messier objects. In fact at an Astrocamp in Dryandra I had to introduce it.
One of the rules was that 'goto's etc were out! But the Society had produced a floppy of all the Messier objects with all of their information. It included a lot of the Northern Hemisphere stuff so anyone in the northern latitudes could get to log them.
Lots of information was required of the observer and I had started the task but left WA long before I logged many of the objects.
I probably still have the very informative floppy here but I think it would be better if one of the moderators approached ASWA to see if it could be used in this forum. After all it is ASWA's intellectual property.
What do you think?
Cheers!
Popeye.
