Hi All,
I'm talking to a group of people interested in
observing on Saturday night and began looking for some useful charts for
southern binocular objects. Some of these are l Carinae, U Carinae, kappa
Pavonis, R and S Carinae, L2 Puppis, theta Apodis. I tried the AAVSO charts area
but there seemed no way to get at stars with greek letters and the charts for
stars like R and S Carinae and L2 were 50 years old with all the stars the same
size.The magnitudes seemed to be from Harvard. The RASNZ VSS didn't even have a
web site. There was a binocular group but the stars in this are not those which
would appeal to beginners.
Does any one know of a useful source of good,
attractive charts which I can access on the Internet? Preferably black stars on
a white background. Probably these sources have been on the web innumerable
times but I don't usually get too involved in visual observing. And I must admit
that with all the discussions about charts I expected to find some excellent
beginners' charts on the AAVSO website. I can always use Bill Gray's Project
Pluto but why reinvent the wheel?
Regards,
Stan
