I'm not sure folks appreciate what Alvin is accomplishing here. A
number of the planetaries in Alvin's survey have only been seen by a
handful of experienced observers and would not have been considered
possible just a few years back (I tried a survey with my 13-inch and
17.5--inch back in the '80's with much less success). This is serious,
hardcore observing stuff! I'd suggest writing this up for an article
in S&T though they have backed away from advanced-level observing
articles. As far as I'm concerned You Da Man and congratulations are
in order!
