Re: [APML] Objects to photograph next week at TSP

Hey Kent...will you be there this year? I'm just accustomed to seeing incredible images of non-Messier objects come across APML, so I was looking for suggestions of those not-so-popular IC and NGC objects to pursue.

As they say, "The skies the limit".
You'll have the whole sky to choose from, except the winter objects.
The comet(s) after sundown, Omega Centauri to the south. Galaxies overhead until after midnight.
I think the best TSP sky is from midnight to dawn.
The summer Milky Way rising in the east will look like a cloud bank and by dawn will be almost overhead.
West Texas has already had over nine inches of rain this year, which is what they normally receive for an entire year........so everything is green, including the Prude Ranch, which is a rarity.
I understand even the upper observing field is green with grass. This should mean clearer skies without the usual dust.
