Galaxies
I think it's not true when I said I haven't seen any galaxy at all. I have seen the great Andromeda galaxy with a pair of bino, it is was stunning despite the small bino, and that was before I acquire my current scope. I then used it to have a peek on the LMC. Not bad. Found Tarantula by randomly scannning the area without the help of a star map. But I suppose they are easy targets. When come to those small tiny little galaxies, it's a different ball game. I am excited.
So Ron, since you are a supernova seacher, you keep lots of photographic records of those galaxies? My impression is that you need some form of basis to compare the before and after scene when a supernova occurs so that you are pretty sure something has happened.
