| C6 (Cat's Eye Nebula) in Draco |
by Stephen Saber
A first draft, this February-March sequence from 40ºN latitude contains the 110 Messiers and another 140 targets from the complementary Caldwell Catalog and RASC Finest NGC objects in a rough search sequence (I'll add more target info and refinements as time permits). The Trifecta may be attempted over a single or multiple spring nights. For year-round use, the Concordiem Borealis includes these targets and more, listed by constellation.
