Re: [APML] Ara Nebula - Eat your heart out!

That's really wonderful, Chris. It is tremendous to be able to realize a 
long sought goal.

I did a quick check of the specifics about this from my location here in the 
SF Bay area

it rises at 20:10 and transits at 22:09 which is just about astronomical 
dark for me.

it sets at 00:09 so there's maybe a 30-45 minute window that it would be 
imagable from Fremont Peak

No way from my backyard though.

What a cool object!

BTW there's a narrowband imaging group formed on Yahoo
