Links and details for Friday's Sky this Month

I am putting some links into the 'comments' for this post. Putting them there causes the machine to count the number of views, (which i am curious about).

There you will find references to Messier Objects,
and other surprises.

This link takes you to an interesting list of the Messier objects, in numerical order, and photographs

Here is a link to a website that will let you create customized messier lists, to plan your observing.

Here's a link to a chart of messier objects sorted by magnitude, brightest first.
Each one has a clickable link to the wiki page for the item.

The dates for the Cherry Springs Star Party in 2011 have been announced! It'll be May 26th through the 30th, which is memorial day weekend! It'll run thursday through monday, so there's a sunday night included in the star party.

Here's a link to their website

Here's a link to a page showing a record of cases where meteorites have struck things and animals.
