PNS MANUAL: targets
Images and observing data on
objects already observed
Use the same PA if you reobserve and if possible preserve the exact
alignment: use the A/G PROBE DATA if available, this is found by
clicking on the name of the target.
For info about appropriate filters and angles,
see here.
List of potential targets,
including those with PN data,
and best targets.
