[LVAS] Observers Challenge-January

[Robert Lambert]

Roger,

I still use her "Celestial Sampler", especially when she's observed an object that is in our Challenges.  Wouldn't it be a trip if she chose to submit a report for one of our challenges?

By the way, I've posted January's Challenge report.

Take care.  Looking forward to this month's challenge.  I hope to get out twice during the next two weeks.  May rendezvous with Fred  and David one night.

Rob

I had wanted to use the new Gardner-Webb scope to visually observe NGC-2264 but I didn't have time to drive in to campus tonight.
