Fabulous Website

[Moonshane]

On a newcomers' thread, Umadog kindly posted a link to a website with which I was unfamiliar. Many of you may know of this site but I thought I'd mention it in case not.

Illustrated DSO guide - Deep Sky Watch

the sketches and the DSO guide are absolutely superb.

cheers

Shane,

Thanks for posting this! I missed the link that Umadog posted originally for the Deep Sky Watch site. The site is user-friendly and concise with the emphasis being on DSO data. It contains excellent guides for DSOs with illustrations, a telescope calculator and other articles. I think this is an invaluable resource and one which will prove to be most useful for both beginners and intermediates alike - a 'must save' link as a favourite in my opinion!

Thanks Shane,

Great site I particularly enjoyed the sketches. These should be viewed by all new to the hobby to get a feeling for what they can expect to see at the EP.

Thanks again.

I agree. After I followed the link in the other thread I bookmarked the site quick. Sketches like those are something I aspire too and the other features on the site are simply wonderful.

Yes, great sketches, but note the location: Israeli deserts! Great website though - thanks for pointing it out.

Looks a handy web site, observing in the desert! Good find Umadog and thanks for posting this link Shane.

[carldr]

Thanks, the site was new to me and looks very useful.

Should be a first stop for newbies - show them what you `could` expect to see in their new scope. Wish I had found this site earlier, the sketches are brilliant.

Perhaps a suitable venue for SGL8!

Just downloaded the lot for sea.

What a great site.

He must have a very dark site! M51 spiral arms in an 8 inch newt? Impressive.
