Description
Here you’ll find Star Hopping location techniques for the most beautiful sights in the night sky, with explanations of exactly how to find them with your binoculars or telescope, brought to you by Kissimmee Park Observatory (KPO).
KPO has a series of video tutorials called ”Star Hopping” that show you step by step how to find the most interesting objects in the night sky, like Star Clusters, Nebulae, and Galaxies. We produce these video tutorials every week on our YouTube channel. But it’s not convenient to watch a video when you are out with the telescope, so we are collecting all these great star hopping instructions into what will be a series of books for you to use by the telescope under the stars.
In this book, our Star Hopping methods will allow you to:
Quickly locate the most interesting deep sky objects in the sky
Use a specific location method every time, so that you learn and memorize the route to each target
Maximize your observing time so that you don’t waste time searching for targets
This text contains our Star Hopping methods for over 30 deep sky objects, covering the skies for the months of August through December. For each deep sky object presented, we give you the exact steps to locate the target, based on starting points of easily located bright stars. Then we provide all the background information and history of the target object, so you’ll know exactly what you’re looking at. This book also contains beautiful images of each target deep sky object, taken with the telescopes and cameras at KPO.
