what do you observe the most?

[cola]

what do you observe most ofen/what do you like best?double stars,deap sky,v. stars,meteors...???

[GazOC]

Globular clusters and galaxies.

[Psychobilly]

Clouds......

But on the rare ocasisions when they aren't around I mostly image Nebulae...sorry I know your question was about observational astronomy...

Hi Filip, without a doubt my favorite is the Moon.

But when it's not there, I enjoy observing deep sky objects, especially open clusters. Actually, I like everything.. the Sun, meteors, the Aurora, comets, novae.. and sometimes the planets when the seeing is good enough.

Variable stars have never interested me, but carbon stars do (they're variables though, aren't they?). I love it when their color deepens, making them look like drops of blood in the night sky. Very beautiful.

My collimation.....theres not much else to do when its cloudy and at the moment I am thinking of converting the 8" into a kitchen bin. It would be more useful that way owing to non stop cloud

I did kind of have this nutty idea I might look at nebula when I bought it.

What evers in the sky at the moment: moon, deep sky, doubles, planets, the occasional bright comet. If only I had either the time or the dedication to specialise on one area.

Merry christmas all,

Planets and lunar.

[Lady Isabella]

Double stars, variable stars, asteroids, planets and the moon.

Only very occasionally do I observe the brighter DSO's

or a comet.

[James]

Globulars and galaxies as well although my imaging is forcing me to check out various nebulae that are good through Hydrogen Alpha filters...

Double Stars, The Moon and Open Clusters.

I do look at DSO when the LP in London allows me to

As i'm playing 'catchup' after years of not owning a scope, I am observing everything I can in some kind of order (weather permitting) starting with the Messier objects. When the Moon is up, i'll observe it and the planets too.

[Sam]

Everything but galaxies are my favourite.

[Casus belli]

Galaxies clusters and nebulae

[vemarstar]

I'm going through the messier list, first priority but i like most objects also a nice bright comet would be nice.

[Keithp]

As a total newbie, had the scope since a couple of weeks before Christmas... The last couple of nights has been the moon for me.. got a few pics, well pleased.

I will try to improve.

Regards

Clouds and orange sky glow mostly but on the rare occasions it's clear and I'm home I keep looking at the same objects comparing the views to the memories of last time but by then the memory has faded. I'd like to look at galaxies but it's a losing battle with the light pollution and local bad seeing.

I suppose the most observed objects are open clusters but I'll look at anything I can. I must get a list together so I'm armed for the next time.

The last few times I've been out I've been a little obsessed with Caldwell 1 (NGC188) near Polaris but I've had no luck spotting it so far. It's an open cluster (one of the oldest known) but I think it needs good transparency and a darker site.
