[LVAS] March Observers Challenge

[roger ivester]

All.

 

A suggestion. Since we have a readership throughtout the country of the Obsrvers Challenge, could we post the beautiful images already received by Dr. Dire, and Frank Barrett, and then do an addendum later to the report. 

 

Rob, your Mallincam is probably going to be our only other hope to see IC 405, IC 410 and of course the brighter cluster. 

 

Rob, would you do an explaination write-up?  We would explain on the website the current situation and what we are going to "attempt" to do. This would just allow for Dennis Di Cicco, Sue French and all the many others to be aware of the March object situation. 

 

My story was bad weather, seeing and transparency. I could see the brighter members of NGC 1893 (the Y) as described by WSH, but not the fainter members of the cluster. I could not glimpse the more visual object IC 405, but definitely not IC 405. 

 

I have always wanted to give this object my best effort. Sometimes information like this is good as it tells the difficulties of one group of observers. Sometimes all things are not possible. We just do our best and report.

Rob,
 
Didn't get a thing. I don't mind if we do an extension until next month, but as Roger said, it will get lower and lower by our next observing window. I'm going to try for it regardless, but if we want to keep the challenges in line, we can just go with the one success we already have and leave it alone.
 
What we can do is delay it and put it out next month as well as the April challenge. I'm sure some of us have to bunch up observations when they can anyway, and it is no sweat from me to do two reports in one month.

Hey Guys,


Did everyone get observe this month's challenge object?  I only got one mediocre night and not sure that my images are very good. I'll have to give them a look after Chuch this afternoon. Let me know if we want to give folks an extension for a couple of weeks.

All,
 
It is time to begin working on the March LVAS Observers Challenge report. Please finalize your work and submit as soon as possible.
 
If you have not participated in a while, or if you have never contributed, please consider doing so next month. To keep the Challenge going, we really need everyone's support. It would be great to have some new faces. 
 
Thanks, Roger
