Tonight (Sunday)

[01gringo]

Well,

looking at the weather I will try and get outside tonight.

Being a complete novice can anyone recommend some fairly easy tagets (apart from jupiter) that I may be able to get a good look at.

I have a skywatcher 150p so things that this scope can see would be good.

Cheers

John

Jupiter will be nice and easy to spot.

Also see if you can find the Andromeda galaxy

Definitely worth trying the Andromeda Galaxy (M31)

Tonight i am on 12 hr nights on my first shift back after a week off, my new 15 x 70 binos (from FLO) are going with me.

Going to get out with the bins tonight, see if I can go for M33, M31 and the Cassiopeia clusters

Edit: Cassiopeia probably a good place to explore with a 6" scope:)

That's the same scope as mine and i got some good views of the ring nebula (M57) the other night. If you need help finding it it's in Lyra between the lower two stars. I'm DSO hunting tonight if it stays clear

I'm very much a novice also, so some of the suggestions below might be complete nonsense...

The dual cluster is quite nice near to the constellation of Perseus (from my location it's usually up and to the right of Eta Persei). I can see them quite nicely with my 10x40 bins so you shouldn't have a problem with your scope (I think). You can also look for the pleiades cluster which will be rising in the north east at about 20:00.
