Thanks for the input gary.

The MAG filter is something I have only started using more often fairly recently .. I did look at the magnitude of a couple of objects
previously (some a little obscure some not) that I know visually thinking I might have got something wrong .. I understand now that however well I can referance them the data I see regarding magnitude, and a lot of it is likely close , is still a little Arbitrary in regard to these historical catalouges ?

(OPEN CLUSTER or BRIGHT NEBULA) with regard to ngc 2264 you have
nailed exactly what I did , in that ok your not showing up as a OC
so you must be a NEBULA , referance some more info still
get (no more objects )...haha.


I did think of mailing you on this but thought maybe others
using the argos intuitive controls could stumble into a similar
situation ..

regards graham
