Lee Steven Kelvin: Object Hunter

Messier Hunter
Welcome to my Messier Hunter! The table on the right shows your vital statistics, and the table below shows which Messier objects are currently above 20° altitude. Im currently working on making more of these "variables" variable, bear with me!
The red and green bars show an hour angle of 12^h and 0^h respectively. When an object transits the red line it is at its minimum altitude (due north of polaris). When an object transits the green line it is at its maximum altitude (due south of polaris). Still confused? See some of our best efforts. Enjoy.
There are currently 32 Messier objects above 20° altitude.
