Planetary Nebula Club Introduction (1174 words)
Observers reporting that 100% of the objects observed were located manually by traditional star-hopping techniques will receive special recognition on their certificate.
To record a negative observation, the observer must make at least two observing attempts on different nights, record all of the data required for a standard observation and describe in detail the methodology used to confirm that the proper position was examined.
Observers are encouraged to make as many attempts to detect the object as possible and to submit negative observations only when resigned that detection is impossible.
