Not an Observing report

[astroron]

Managed to get the scope out last night for a few hours:D
I tried out O111 and UHC filters on different objects and with a veriety of eyepieces.
Seeing was not very good so just looked at some old friends, NGC's 3132,3372,4945,4565,4372,4833, 5128,5139, 5189,4655/56,4631,6321
Messier's 42,65,66,83, 104.+Ghost of Jupiter PN.
Also T PYXIDIS.

Thats all I can think if at the moment
Mist came over about 22.30 so called it a night.
It was enjoyable while it lasted out under the stars:D

Cheers

Just kidding, Ron!
Nothing like visiting some old friends!

:confused2: :confused2: :confused2:

:poke: Righy-o. Consider this not a response either:P

Guess I'll go off and look up most of those NGC objects then, because your descriptions were non descriptive to the extreme. :screwy: :P
Okay, have googled. I see you have been busy galaxy hunting everywhere from Hercules to Musca to Centaurus and beyond. I may as well call this my own obs report, after all the work I did, I feel I did it myself. :P:poke:

[astroron]

Thanks Rob and Liz:thumbsup:
Suzy I wonder if deep down in my "Little Grey Cells" I thought some people would troll through the post to see what the " he observed:P;)
I can only write so many times about Omega Cent,Cent A , M104,ect ect ect ect ect:poke:
As I said I did but only look and NOT observe them :poke:
I am glad you enjoyed your observing session
It saved you getting the scope out:P;):lol:
Thankyou for your reply to my post:thumbsup:
Regards

[astroron]

I thought I better put some further information so people can look for these objects themselves
Well picked up Suzy my typo:rolleyes:, re galaxy in Hercules,it should have been 6231 the cluster with Nebula in The Table of Scorpius:thumbsup:

[Zubenel]

Just read your report Ron. Getting me excited !! Had a look at the weather report and Sinday Night is forecast to be fine and lines up with the calendar:D.. Monday is public holiday so might see you.
Cheers Zub

[astroron]

Might catch up with you then Wes:thumbsup:
Cheers

[Suzy]

:lol: Didn't expect someone (moi) to go chase down all the objects you "saw but not observed" and keep you honest hah?! :P:P:P
That's so funny, I can't believe I pulled you up despite the lack of information you gave. :P I might be getting good at this. :D
So where is the information you mention? :shrug:
Not that it matters for me I guess... I spent goodness knows how long googling everything you did. I know it all now... :rolleyes: :lol:

And look who made APOD today- :eyepop: none other than NGC6231 itself!!! :thumbsup:

Seems I'm going to great lengths to extract any little bit of detail of an obs I can get out of this thread. :rolleyes: :screwy: :lol:
I hope everyone realises I am just having a bit of fun with Ron (he knows I am ;)).

[astroron]

Suzy, the information I was referring to is in the Quotes box which mentions what the objects are and their constellations:shrug:
But then as you say it makes no matter to you as you KNOW IT ALL :P:rolleyes::lol:
Cheers:thumbsup:

[Suzy]

That's just one object. :poke:

Yes, don't worry, I know everywhere you went...:rolleyes:
Probably even guess what time you took a break for a cuppa too. :question:
:lol:

I hope this enlightens you:question::P;)
Are you spying on me:shrug:,or do yo just know me too well:rolleyes::question::lol:

[Suzy]

Ahemmm *clear throat*
This is where the confusion lays....
You're original post still stands as the same (see above) :P.
You have put a new post into a quote box (refer post #6). A quote box is used for quoting something that has already been said. :P :D
I'll await your apology :P. :lol::lol::lol:

I'm pedantic when it comes to obs reports, I know I know. :rolleyes: :)

[Suzy]

If I admit to spying on you, two men in black suits holding a neatly typed piece of paper may come knocking on my door. :shrug:
Let's just say, I monitor your occasional movement for the sake of science. ;) :lol:

By the way, I would be particularly interested to get a proper obs report of T.Pyxidis & The Ghost of Jupiter PN (thru a 16") in the near future. :D

Sheeez Ron "seeing" something has ended up being a whole lot more work for you here in this forum as "observing" hasn't it. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[astroron]

I don't know about the men in black:question:,Mmmmm But I sure have done a lot of typing on this thread, it would have saved my typing fingers if I had done a proper observing report:rolleyes::screwy::lol::lol:: lol::lol::lol:
I will obey your command and weather permitting try to observe those two objects this weekend and do a proper observing report to save my sanity:P:prey2::prey2:http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/../vbiis/images/smilies/winking70.gif

There's a good man! :thumbsup:
Look forward to it. :D
