globular cluster



I've posted on
ftp://ftp.nofs.navy.mil/pub/outgoing/aah/tass/globular.jpg
a one-minute V-band exposure of a Milky Way field taken
with ARNE.  This is at declination ~ -9degrees and somewhere
near the plane of the Milky way.  My guess is that we
are looking at NGC6517 and NGC6539 at ~18:03 -08, but
I could be wildly wrong since I haven't had a chance to
check the pointing yet. E-W is top/bottom on this image,
same orientation as Tom's images.
  The weather is predicted to dry up by this weekend; I'll
try to get better results then.
  Note: the anon ftp server has been particularly active
this morning with people downloading USNO-A2.0.  If you
don't get connected, just keep trying.
