    Sky Safari Lists

    Few months ago i found how code in Sky Safari list works. As a big fan of Alvin Huey books i prepered some of them in Sky Safri list. Me and our friends use it a lot.
    Objects in lists are separated in few orders.

    Book Galaxy Trios and Triple System have rating scale from Alvin. There are 3 prepared list for rank 1-3. Rank 4 is to hard for my 16" so... maybe in future.

    Books Galaxy Groups and Globular Clusters are separated by Mag of objects, each book have 3 lists, 13-mag, 13-14mag, 14+mag.


    Alvin`s books give me a lot so i thinked that it ll be ok if i post this list here, on forum he advertises.

    In future i ll prepare more, if you like it and use Sky Safari i can post it here either.

    There is also list of Carbon Stars, SKy Safary oryginally have around 30 o them, in my list are 125 carbon stars. My favorite is U Hydrae

    Yours,
    Adam

    I also echo thanks! I've used Alvin's guides a lot. Maybe if I have the energy may create a SkySafari .skylist file for his "Observing Flat Galaxies" guidebook.
