I was in Death <BR>> Valley the last week of February on a particularly dark night. I was amazed <BR>> at all the galaxies in the area of M 84 - 85. I was using a 10 " Maksutov f <BR>> 12.5 with a 24mm televue. The fov is very small but the least little <BR>> movement of the 'scope brought another galaxy in to view. I must have spent <BR>> 30 minutes in that one area.<BR>> <BR>> John<BR>> ----- Original Message ----- <BR>> From: <lvas-request@lvlug.org><BR>> To: <lvas@lvlug.org><BR>> Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2009 6:13 PM<BR>> Subject: Lvas Digest, Vol 21, Issue 10<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> > Send Lvas mailing list submissions to<BR>> > lvas@lvlug.org<BR>> ><BR>> > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<BR>> > http://lvlug.org/mailman/listinfo/lvas<BR>> > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<BR>> > lvas-request@lvlug.org<BR>> ><BR>> > You can reach the person managing the list at<BR>> > lvas-owner@lvlug.org<BR>> ><BR>> > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<BR>> > than "Re: Contents of Lvas digest..."<BR>> ><BR>> ><BR>> > Today's Topics:<BR>> ><BR>> > 1.
