Enjoy! I think I have about 30 left to observe since I started back in the hobby a couple of years ago. Tough to get those galaxies in my LP though.

Thanks all.

This is the filtered version of the list:

I think I've done a few more over the years, M2 and M15 definitely, but it was a few years ago when I had my dob.

Here's hoping for some clear nights so I can expand it!

My astro pc hard drive has died! So an excellent opportunity to increase the tally on my Messier viewing list.

The attached is filtered for those I haven't observed, that are best observed in the autumn or winter and are brighter than magnitude 8.

Wishing me and everyone else clear skies!

Regards

Graeme
