[Lvas] Redstone Observing with a Japanese Visitor

[roger ivester]

Rob,

 

I really wish that I could go with you guys but we have many miles between us.   

 

Rob, if you don't mind how about getting our next months object which is NGC 2403 which is the bright galaxy in Camelopardalis. It is really in pretty good sky position before, midnight. 

 

If you have not observed it before you will be surprised. I still wonder how Messier could have missed this one. 

 

An excellent view in a 4-inch refractor...

 

Thanks Roger
