Great suggestion, Joe. I too love dipping into the Sissy Hass list. I was after a new Herschell 400 number in Puppis last night(93?) before the deluge of dew, and loved my first look at NGC 2467, which is like a baby 'Hamburger' (Centaurus A gal) and while in the area I revisited the stunning Kappa Puppis. This is a lovely area of the Milky Way and my finderscope soon led me to the lovely clusters 2546 and 2451 further south. Because I neglected Germini last season' I got on to the Eskimo Neb (pn 2392) and loved the detail, but a fogging finder started to make life difficult.
There was the blazing Jupiter just coming up over my shed. 11 p.m. and tired limbs and dew on everything. I'm off to bed. Very transparent sky after all these weeks but wet. wet. wet!
