Thanks Malcolm,RE. the P56 article, I didn't recognise as a deep sky article with 3 DSO and 16 stars/binary objects sighted. I think I was a little precious though !! Point to note. Dont count on Gemini for DSO's!. THIS post could also lead into a greater question . WITH the busy lifestyle and constraints we have to overcome to actually get into decent dark sky to observe ,have I become guilty of relying on a quick information grab to stuff into an observing list at the last moment. S & T mostly fulfills that criteria , so when it's not "there" ( It, being a good and well written article centered on deep sky observations), for me ,what will I observe!! I hope most of us don't observe in isolation and we can feed off one another. To my observing friends I thankyou. You fill the gap for me.
A good planetarium program can assist however it just doesn't have the same attractive allure as the human touch . And with Sue F in the Northern Hemisphere I would presume that the grandest half of the universe will go undescribed. We miss you Les D.
