some new targets wanted...

[Andrew*]

As the planets are all taking a holiday, and I've found and observed and loved M31, 45 and 42 a dozen times each, I need some new objects to view on moonless nights. Any ideas?? Double stars are okay, globs are better, but nebulae and galaxies are what I''m really after. Please suggest some easy targets.

Thanks a lot.

You could always give these a try, M35, 36, 37 and 38, all nicely placed close by to each other, so not too far to move the scope to observe....

Some of my faves anyway..

Edit: Added Gaz's suggestion, also the double cluster in Perseus, a true show stopper

If you want a bit of a challenge try M1, it's just a few degrees directly down from the clusters Caz has mentioned.

Hopefully I'll have a picture in the morning to show you what it looks like.

Check out the monthly targets which are chosen for their diversity and I think all are possible with a small telescope to keep people interested.

Or get a copy of the Messier and NGC catalogues and slowly work your way through them

Summer triangle still up there early evening. Get yourself out early enough and catch M27 dumbell

I'd suggest h & chi Persei, the Perseus double cluster. Wonderfull for a widefield view.
