Seasons first gaze

[Tadakun]

A couple nights ago when there was a break in the northwest rain blanket I ran out with my 15x70s and took a look at Jupiter, m42, around auriga, and then went to locate where andromeda was and realized that I could easily pick it out with only my eyes. Pointed the binos at it and sure enough there it was.

So now I want to ask, does anyone have some a good list of targets to aim for? I only have my 15x70s so it's a bit harder to scan the sky. I need to get a pair of lower mag ones soon.

does anyone have some a good list of targets to aim for?

Is this any good for you ? I realise that you are a bit further south, but all the targets there should be possible for you.

i looked around the website a little after posting this and it's a great bit of information. I'll have to get out on a clear night (high hopes!) and see how close to my skies it is.

Thats a great project Steve and will be a fine resource to many.
