Hi,
May I just elaborate a bit? The Snake Valley DSO hunt will be a challenge to find and catalogue the 100 DSO (Deep Sky Objects) from a list I will give out.

It’s a bit of a challenge or a project for observers to do over the camp period.
It’s a bit of fun and most objects will be able to be viewed in a 6” or bigger scope.
There will be at least 10 very hard to see objects but within range of a 10” scope.

The prize will be self satisfaction on completing the challenge.
But there maybe a prize or 2!! also, Stay tuned.

It will not be compulsory to do the challenge, but it will be something different than observing the same old objects all the time.

I have started my list and it is harder to find the obscure more than one thinks.

Good luck and if you have a object I mite include PM me please.
Don’t put it on the forum. As I do not want people finding things before the camp.

Regards.
