1 Telescope Observer s Challenge: If you came to the Table Mountain Star Party (TMSP) with your telescope or have access to a telescope while at the TMSP this program is for you. This program will give you an opportunity to observe 30 or more showcase objects under the ideal conditions of the pristine Eden Valley skies. It s not super challenging this year, but will get progressively harder each year. You will get a button for finding just 25 objects. All observations must be done during the TMSP. The Fab Five program consists of a list of objects in five categories; Galaxies, Open Clusters, Globular Clusters, Solar System Objects and Nebulae. You must observe and document five objects from each category. You must find the objects yourself, without help from anyone else. Enter the required information and for at least one of the objects in each of the five categories you must sketch what you see through the eyepiece. Any size telescope can be used. All objects are within range of small to medium sized telescopes, and are available for observation between 10:00PM and 4:00AM any time during the TMSP. All objects are listed in Right Ascension order so that you can observe them before they set in the West, or as they rise in the East. To receive your button, turn in you observations to Mark Simonson or Ron Mosher (Observation Challenge Coordinators) any time during the TMSP. If you finish the list the last night of TMSP, and we are not available to give you your button, just mail your observations to me at 1519 Ridge Dr., Camano Island, WA , or your observations to me at marknilse@yahoo.com, and I will see that you get a button. The Novice Observer s Challenge can only be earned once per person.
