Stan, As Mike said, all those stars have charts in my website. However, the charts are all PEP(V) not Tycho-2 based. Only in cases where no photometry from the ground is available Tycho-2 values are used. I am adding the links to every chart in between your e-mail lines. I hope it helps. Cheers, Sebastian. 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 http://ar.geocities.com/varsao/Carta_l_Car.htm , U Carinae http://ar.geocities.com/varsao/Carta_HD_95687.htm , kappa Pavonis http://ar.geocities.com/varsao/Carta_Kappa_Pav.htm , R and S Carinae http://ar.geocities.com/varsao/Carta_R_Car_bin.htm http://ar.geocities.com/varsao/Carta_R_Car_tel.htm http://ar.geocities.com/varsao/Carta_S_Car_tel.htm , L2 Puppis http://ar.geocities.com/varsao/Carta_L2_Pup_b.htm , theta Apodis http://ar.geocities.com/varsao/Carta_the_Aps.htm 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
