Good call, Paul!
Rather than open clusters, or cataclysmic variables... I think a more
appealing list would be interesting pairs. NGC 6946 and NGC 6939 are a
prime example. Steve Gottlieb had an article in S&T not too long ago using
this theme. Anyone have some recommendations? Which Abell Planetary has
the galaxy showing through the edge of its ring?
What about NGC 6440 and NGC 6445? Same FOV, glob and planetary.
How about NGC 6520 and B92? Or, NGC 6528 and NGC 6522 - same FOV globs?
Maybe we should compile a list for TAC's web-page....
