Guide to the Globular Clusters Observe Club
This is our newest manual and our newest "Observe Program"!
The purpose of this observing club is to introduce observers to some of the finest globular clusters in the heavens. The observing guide is different from other Astronomical League publications with respect of its content. Most amateurs have access to pictures of these globular clusters as well as programs that can print detailed finder charts for these objects. This observing guide instead includes the most up-to-date information about each of the 190 globular clusters, including information about their discovery and by whom, and other interesting facts about these objects. Much of this information was provided by Barbara Wilson, a highly skilled Texas amateur who has observed 137 of the globular clusters listed in this program.
The Globular Cluster Club is supported and maintained by the membership of the Longmont Astronomical Society, of Longmont, Colorado. Our club is dedicated to observing the night sky and educating the community.
