Instructions and forms for submitting observations are included. Several examples of observing forms are offered in this manual. You can use what is provided here or devise your own method. The Herschel II program was originally planned for observers with telescopes 8-inches and up, but that seems to be a stretch. A scope with a minimum aperture of 10-inches will probably be needed to complete the whole program.
Technology continues to add many wonderful options for amateur astronomers.
The Observe the Herschel II Objects manual itself is one of the most attractive and well laid out books that the AL has offered. The book is 110 pages, spiral bound, paperback, with a handsome, dark teal cover featuring the Hubble Wide Field. The spiral binding will make it very easy to use during a night's observing session. Inside, the pages are a full 8.5 x 11 inches, with large, easy to read type. The best feature, aside from accurate descriptions of each object, is a selection of observing forms.
