Maybe you've found a way to save money on the website. I would prefer to see the videos of the podcast on youtube straight from the recording then having it touched up on astronomycast, but that's just my penny's worth. Good job and continue the good work!

I think Sir Patrick Moore named the Caldwell objects so. because on star maps the objects will be tagged C1, C2, C3 etc... which would not be confuse with M1, M2, M3
