My observations of the Caldwell catalog. Only have those that were in the northern hemisphere. If I had the list with me when I went to Bolivia in 2002, I could have probably knocked off the southern hemisphere for the week I was there. Probably will never get that chance to finish all of them. The list contains 71 observations that were done over the span of 2002-2005.

Re: Robinson Visual Caldwell Observations
Congratulations Rob, that's an impressive achievement.
My latitude gives me a similar problem as yourself with not being able to see many Caldwell targets and some Messiers too.
I have split your post off so that it is now a separate topic to give your Caldwell observations a higher visibility.
Please see your TSS Caldwell Visual Observations Certificates attached.
Well done.
