DIB targets - gleaned from literature - I'll come up references soon See SIMBAD for info on all these targets HD        V mag    SAO (so that my Losmandy can find these stars) 23180      3.82      56673   - a classic DIB target 24912      4.02      56856 141637    4.64      183854 142096    5.03      183895 142114    4.59      183896 144217    2.62      159682 144470    3.96      184123 145502    4.01      159764 148184    4.42      159918 149757    2.56      160006 179406    5.34      143134 184915    4.95      143600 210839    5.06      34149  - favorite in literature for strong DIB lines Question:  What about DIBs in stars that contain extrasolar planets?  Planet + organic matter =  life? Some nice bright targets - Source:  Extrasolar planet database  http://exoplanet.eu Am I crazy to consider these targets (stellar line forrest/not enough UV pumping, etc.)?  Maybe I should look at Spitzer targets that contain circumstellar material.  Any comments?
