I am not sure if anyone in Oz has completed this list but I can tell you that Brad Young from the USA who has been on 3 OZsky trips in the last 5 years has completed all but 10 targets on the list, necessitating his return next year to another OZsky event to finish it. Brad has managed to achieve this from only 16 nights observing. What is even more remarkable is that he has sketched all 590 of the objects he has observed to date. While Brad pulled "all nighters on the 6 clear nights we experienced at last week's Spring Ozsky event, it's still a remarkable effort. An accurately pointing Argo Navis Digital Telescope Computer was certainly instrumental in helping Brad observe so many targets in a short period of time.

Cheers
