Your mention of this object has led me to search further on the internet. Several sources now classify it as a globular cluster. What charts are you using? As far as observing nebulae go I do not usually go looking for them, but B86 was very obvious. -------------------- Ted Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Glob Hoppin' star drop 06/26/09 10:23 PM Re: Glob Hoppin' palsing   07/01/09 10:17 PM Re: Glob Hoppin' star drop   07/03/09 02:14 PM Re: Glob Hoppin' skypilgrim   06/29/09 07:29 PM Re: Glob Hoppin' star drop   06/29/09 08:37 PM Re: Glob Hoppin' skypilgrim   06/30/09 06:44 PM Re: Glob Hoppin' Ray4852   06/27/09 09:26 PM Re: Glob Hoppin' Dave Mitsky   06/29/09 01:45 PM Re: Glob Hoppin' star drop   06/27/09 10:12 PM Re: Glob Hoppin' NerfMonkey   06/28/09 05:24 PM Re: Glob Hoppin' star drop   06/28/09 07:12 PM Re: Glob Hoppin' NerfMonkey   06/28/09 07:40 PM Re: Glob Hoppin' davidpitre   06/29/09 07:46 PM Re: Glob Hoppin' BillFerris   06/30/09 02:29 AM Re: Glob Hoppin' NerfMonkey   06/29/09 10:50 PM Re: Glob Hoppin' star drop   06/28/09 08:38 PM Re: Glob Hoppin' DizzyGazer   06/29/09 04:42 AM Re: Glob Hoppin' DizzyGazer   06/27/09 01:32 AM Extra information 2 registered and 4 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
