AL Flat Galaxies selected.pdf (27.27 KB) This is not an 'official' list / program / whatever. I just think edge-on (flat) galaxies are interesting, so I ran the Astronomical League list through SkyTools and filtered it down to this list: - All are up at WHCRC and above 2x airmass between 9 PM and 2:30 AM Friday night April 5th
- All are 13th magnitude or brighter (a couple are in the 10 - 11 range)
The attached list contains chart references for SkyAtlas 2000, Uranometria 2000 and the Pocket Sky Atlas. They're sorted in RA order, with a column indicating the calculated optimum viewing time (which may or may not be convenient). I've observed only a half dozen of them on the AL list and offhand I don't know if any of those made it to this list. Maybe someone else will enjoy a few of these, too. So far my luck with observing and work / weather / whatever hasn't been too good for months now. I'm due.
