Subject: [TAC] Downloadable guides now released to the public

Fellow TACos,

I've finally released seven observing guides to the public and you are the first to know.

It is here.? www.faintfuzzies.com/DownloadableObservingGuides.htm

They are...

Shakhbazian Groups
Galaxy Trios
Small Galaxy Groups
The Local Group
Abell Galaxy Clusters
Globulars (all above -50 dec)
Planetary Nebulae (360+)

Many references are fellow TACos.? Any missing references, let me know and I'll add them.?

Steve G, I remember that you wrote an article in S&T about Abell 2065, I can not find it as I dumped all of my magazines, saving many Deep Sky articles...must have missed this one.? Can you give me the issue and pages and I'll put it in there.

Any errors and typos, please direct them to me and I'll fix them.? I've corrected some in the Trios and Small Galaxy Groups, which I released back before GSSP 2008.

I'm doing this as a contribution to our community of observers as most see these as a valuable tool to use at the field.

Many thanks,
Alvin
