ATMoB "Open Cluster Observing Award " Guidelines Purpose: To promote observing among the membership of the Amateur Telescope Makers of Boston through participation in the Open Clusters Observing Awards program. Introduction: This awards program is oriented towards visually observing open clusters above magnitude 9.9. ... It turns out that a very unprejudiced and convenient method to dermine the limiting magnitude is to count the number of visible stars in certain areas on the sky. ...

User catalogs allow you enter positions for your objects into a file, to save time during an observing run. ... Before diving into the details, here is an example: # default coordinate system and object # (these are the standard defaults, so if you like them you can omit this line) CSys=FK5; Date =2000; RotType= Object ; RotAng=0 # some random objects # Name Pos1 (e.g. RA) Pos2 (e.g. Dec) Options in keyword-value format NGC6543 rot 90 ...
