I was wondering if you've made other posts like this that I've missed?

---

I've posted at least a dozen of these charts over the past couple of years. I know that I've done maps for M104, m102, m52, Omega Centauri, NGC6826, m76, Leo's Triplet, Helix Nebula, ghost of Jupiter, Hinds Crimson Star, M1, and that's only half of what I see in my locator folder (I'm pretty sure most of the one's I've done so far have been posted).

Anyway, my plan is to do all the Messier objects and popular NGC objects in time - all in this similar format - which focusses on what you actually see through binoculars or a small scope. I find most star maps that are (and of course this is just my own personal opinion FWIW) too cluttered with faint stars that I don't really notice that much at the eyepiece. I like looking for asterisms as I can remember them when I'm back at the binoculars, so I know to look for the "fish" when hunting for m76, or the "hat" for m74.

And thanks for the kind words of encouragement - it definitely inspires me to keep going on this project!
