Just curious.
Q: Any personal objections to W Pic or X TrA here?
Do you think we should combine the other lists and targets into a more definitive list here?
Hi,

I actually put together a select list of 600 DSO's visible from Southern latitudes, for the benefit of the regular groups of US observers that myself and a couple of friends entertain here on a regular basis. I put the list together about 4 years ago. To date it has only been circulated to the "Aussie" 3RF members and the respective visiting American observers. I "added" a handful of "red" stars almost as an afterthought to round out the diversity of targets in the list, when I was putting it together. The list of "red" stars I provided is merely an edit from my list of 600 DSO's. It is highly likely I have missed a couple of good ones.

I would be more than happy for you to add to the list as you see fit and ultimately compile a more complete list of "red" Southern Skies stars to be archived on IIS database.

Cheers,
John B
