Star hopping tutorial?

[popeye85]

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in a you tube series to help people find target's by using a star atlas and finder scope? I know allot of people struggle to find target's & especially when it comes to beginners and fainter targets and they tend to just sweep the area and hope to stumble across the target-hopefully a video guide giving step to step instructions could help? 

Thoughts?

P.s I know that there is already a star hoping guide on you tube done  by the Kissimmee observatory but those will be specific to be be used in conjunction with a atlas and finder.

I would like to see one if your up to doing it, if thats what you mean.

Anything to help make this hobby better should always be welcomed.

I think anything that helps us find our way around the huge maze which is our universe would be a great asset.

Yes I saw that and thought it was a good one! I'm hoping to replicate that but in video form and covering a range of targets
