Ouch - I forgot to add 4 new globular clusters to the glob guide...now they are in it. Two of the four were observed by Jimi and I last year with his 48". Namely they are Koposov 1 and Koposov 2.

Just uploaded the latest Ring Galaxy observing guide. Added 12 new objects, including the newly discovered Auriga's wheel and Jimi's new find "Diamond Gem". See revision history for complete list of new objects.

Hopefully last update. I've enhanced all of my guides with a graphical cover page. And slightly enhanced the download page with mini graphics of each color. Let me know what you think. I was doing and thinking about it while putting in the finishing touches to my upcoming new book, Observing Variable Galaxies.'
