...well, kind of. At least it's a list of a few objects. This year, we're hitting the bars! No, not what you think - The barred spiral galaxies!
This is a list of 15 relatively bright barred spirals (all greater than 12th magnitude) and should be visually interesting. They're up between 8 PM and 3 AM each night. As usual for the last couple of years, life and weather (*sigh*) have prevented me from doing much observing, so I've not (re-)observed every object in this list. But I'm SURE we'll have all nights totally clear this year! ...right?
Also, since last year was mostly clouded out (at least in terms of nights) we can also observe many if not all the objects on that list. See this post for details on that list (The Lesser Messiers).
See you in October!
