all I know is that I appreciate having yet another list of targets to image!

Congratulations Alvin!

  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!
