A list of Carbon Stars to view

#1

Post by Lady Fraktor »

I recieved this list a while ago from SpyderwerX aka Frankie/ The Smoking Monkey.

If you enjoy observing carbon stars here is a list that should last for a bit.

Thanks Gabrielle.

And there's also Bretts Carbon Star Hunt Challenge to compliment it.

Nice, I haven't done as much carbon star observing as I would like, generally sessions have been very scarce around here.

Unfortunately I have no idea how to do that, good luck and maybe post some tips if you manage to do it.
