Thanks Jacqui. I know exactly what you mean. So far I've found using the SMC charts based on DSS images easier to use than ordinary charts as the photographic charts look more like what I'm seeing than symbols do.

I do indeed Mark. They have been one of my main sources in putting the charts together along with wikisky, the NGC/IC project web site and Star Clusters by Archinal and Hynes. I've also been using Mati's articles on the Henize nebula catalogue and the Shapley-Lindsay catalogue on the ASNSW web site. Amazing work he's done. His charts also show variable star locations - again an incredible effort.
The resources that are out there and that people have put so much effort into producing is incredible.
