Jay, I would be willing to participate. I have been wanting to do some images of less photographed objects, and many of these would fit the bill. I might just want to do a single luminance exposure (5-10 minutes) to show the basic structure of the object, and forget about trying to collect color data, except perhaps for objects that appear to be particularly interesting. Color imaging takes enormous amounts of integration time to do well. How do we proceed? Email me directly and we can exchange contact info etc. Cheers, Tyler -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Jay Eads Sent: Sunday, June 09, 2013 11:12 PM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Join me in doing the Planetary Nebula Astro League List imager or visual I've decided to add something to my lists in terms of observing. The Herschel 400 II that I am doing doesn't really have a lot of summer time items. Enough to work for four days of observing (including sketching them). So to add to that I am going to do the Astro League's Planetary Nebula List. Imagers and Visual Observers can do this list. I intend to sketch each of them as next to galaxies, PN's are my favorite deep sky objects. I have the list form the Astro League in an Excel Spreadsheet with filters on it so if you want it, let me know and I'll either upload it to Google Docs or email it to you. There are LOTS of summer time PN's to hunt down. It should make for a fun comparison for those who image them and my sketches so I hope an imager takes me up as there aren't too many sketchers here in Utah. Here is the url for the Astronomy League's PN list: http://www.astroleague.org/al/obsclubs/planetarynebula/planetneb1.html It's a project either an imager or a visual observer could do. Anyone want to join me in doing it? Per above I'd like to recruit an imager and then on my blog compare the image they take to the sketch I do. No rush either, we can agree on say four of them a month to image and sketch (or more, up to whoever wants to do this). I just think it will be fun.
