Yes, I could of spent the whole night in Virgo. I meant to say I went out Tuesday night. It was a four day old moon. I'm getting over my jet-lag. One note about IC 3568 from Sky and Telescope. "Astronomers once considered the planetary nebula IC 3568 in Camelopardalis to be one of the morphologically simplest planetaries in the sky. Not any more. Recent images by the Hubble Space Telescope have resolved a complex structure with linear features pointing away from the central star." I'm hoping to bag Kohoutek 1-22, a large planetary nebula about 181" in diameter, in the near future. I need a good southern horizon and fairly dark skies. It's fun to view objects I've never seen before. Debbie

Sure those aren't fly specks on the mirror? -- Joe

Someone (with a 30" dob IIRC) recently posted to the Yahoo PNe group that they had recently observed 32 in a single FOV!

I worked my way south in Virgo till I came to an interesting group of galaxies. I viewed the five brightest members of the NGC 4270 group. By the way, this is a Herschel object Rich.
