Well I have finally completed the Messier Club requirements from the Astronomical League.
The Astronomical League offers special recognition in the form of a Messier Club Certificate for those that have observed most or all of the Messier objects. To qualify you must either be a Member-at-Large or be a member of an astronomical society which is affiliated with the League. To obtain an award you must observe the following rules:
Rule 1:
Observe 70 Messier objects and keep a record of your observations. Your notes must show:a. Date of observation;b. Time of observation;c. Seeing conditions;d. Aperture size of telescope;e. Power used;f. A short note describing your observation of the object.
Rule 2:
Have your notebook or record examined by an officer of your Society or a suitably qualified second party if you are not a member of a society and have this party forward a letter to the effect that you have made the necessary number of observations. So I will have the award pin and certificate within the next 6 weeks!
