Top Ten Messier Objects

for the month November 1997

Look at our most popular Messier object pages ! Here you find the top 10

accessed Messier Object pages; counted are accesses to the main page for

each object.

Starting from June 1996, this Top 10 file is generated by a perl script,

and therefore has become a bit more acurate. However, as there are probably

some accesses missed or counted twice, so that I do not claim this is a

really acurate ranking.

From January 1997, the acuracy of the listings profits from SEDS’ success

in generating a longer-term logfile, so that generally a higher and more

consistent coverage of accesses is achieved.

In November 1997, access activities stay at a stable level of over 25,000

accesses daily. Again, some days were lost (especially end of month as

consequence of maintainer’s absence). This month, first-rank

M31 counted 2837 logged accesses, 3 objects were hit more than 1000 times,

10th rank M6 counted 563, and the least accessed object page, that of

M75, counted 128 logged accesses.
