Kropster Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 M81 and M82 are riding high in Ursa Major.Should be good in the dob.Stellarium will show exactly where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaveSoarer Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Here is how I find M81 and M82. The hop is not too difficult and uses small steps to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshane Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 they are everywhere at the minute although some are quite faint. I agree though start with M81 and M82. look for the supernova in the latter although it's fading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker1947 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Finding DSO's will be a lot easier with a telrad and the free to download telrad maps...if you use Stellarium this also has the Telrad circle built in....makes star hopping a joy...
