Go Out:  Look Up!

A Guide to the Sky, Telescopes, and Telescope Programs


Fundamental Sky Skills

Know which way is North.

Know what the good targets are tonight (we'll have a list or a link).

  • We'll generally list the obvious naked-eye targets (Moon, Jupiter, Orion Nebula)

Be able to read a Planisphere or Star Map (we'll have instructions)

Be able to star-hop or manually find some of the easier targets (Pleiedes, Behive or other star cluster).  We should have detailed steps for this.
