Suggest deep-sky targets for binoculars?
I have a pair of Celestron Skymaster 15x70s, plus a tripod. Good binocs. I’m looking for easy deep-sky targets — nebulae, galaxies, clusters, etc. So far, I’ve observed Andromeda (M31), the M82 galaxy in Ursa Major, and the Orion Nebula (M42). What are some good Spring/Summer targets that stand up to modest light pollution?
Gene is right. Follow the Milky Way very slowly. Take the time to stop and study a region (knowing that the rotation will cause the region to ‘sweep’ through the field of view).
Also, find M13, one of the easier northern globular cluster, in Hercules, an easy Spring/Summer target.
In fact, give yourself the following challenge: try to see as many of the Messier objects as you can. This may take a while with binoculars and some will be beyond your reach. But it will be fun (and a nice way to compare what you can see with what the books — or websites — show about the objects).
Keep a log book. Take notes. Learn to sketch star patterns. It is a challenge without a drive (to compensate for Earth’s spin) but it is not impossible — begin with easy patterns. Sometimes you need to sketch just enough stars so that you can verify that what you looked at is really what you were looking for. Also, you can see planets (or even some asteroids) move from day to day or week to week.
With your binoculars, you might even reach Neptune. You will not see it as a disk. Therefore you will not know which dot it is, unless you sketch it over a week or two.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
