[LVAS] FW: Concerning IC 10

[Rob Lambert]

Roger,

David Blanchette and I met at Amargosa Valley last night for an  
imaging and meteor observing session.  We were both able to locate and  
image IC-10.  David's image is very similar to Jim G's image. As soon  
as I'm able to pull the images off my computer, I'll share the with you.

Iwas also able to reimage our Dec Challenge Objects with both of my  
scopes.

Later,

Rob
