excellent Rich, its great to see and read stuff from people who love what they are doing :-)
I am really starting to wonder about something, when i was learning the night sky years ago, i always thought NGC 3293 was called the 'Gem' cluster { ref. 'The Southern Sky' David Reidy and Ken Wallace 92 edition pg 127 - Hartungs 'Astronomical objects for Southern Telescopes' David Malin and David J Frew pg 189 "..called the 'Gem Cluster' by H.C Russell,.." }
I have not seen one imager or observer on the net, or in this forum call it by that name - I have seen a few nick names for it so far now - but i think gem cluster is the best - and that is what myself and my friends have called it forever!? feels weird - am I nitpicking? anyway thanksfor great read and laugh - cheers
