June obs' cha'ge- object selection process
Hi all,
I thought I'd get in early to get the ball started with the selection process.
Shall we maintain the object group theme? May I suggest Globular Clusters for June?
To this end, my four candidates as always are varied:
Omega Centuri- the big kahuna
M4- in Scorpius. Striking linear formations seen even in modest scopes.
M5- in Serpens Caput. One of the other big GC's, not often mentioned in my circle of objects. Will be tricky from more southerly latitudes.
NGC 6453- one of my fav's. It is a tiny, difficult bugger. It is in the same line of sight as the big bugger M7. Not only, but also the open cluster Tr 30, and the planetary nebula PK356-4.1, lie within the bounds of M7. Here is the big challenge with this one. Isolating the various components.
Any other candidates?
Mental.
