World's Most Famous Stargazing Targets

[@freeman10000]

Living in Australia I can't see all the Messier objects but we are more than generously compensated with replacements (47 Tucanae, Omega Centauri, Eta Carinae Nebula, LMC etc...)

[@SaneGuyFr]

You also have caldwell catalogue

[@Boxxkarr]

I would love to take a stargazing vacation in Australia! It would be hard getting my telescopes and eyepieces down there though!

[@chettdavidson1812]

Just ordered my book. Thank you for helping me along this journey. I have been at this for less than a year with only about 10 Messier objects so far. 2022 is the year

[@LearnToStargaze]

Happy New year! Enjoy the book!

[@Laramedes]

Hi John, I just received your 110 Objects book for Christmas and am looking forward to sharing these sessions with my 7 year old son. I intend to do eyepiece observations and capturing the images with my wedge mounted telescope (Celestron HD8 with Starsense) mounted Nikon 7100. Thanks for your great videos and books.

[@anthonymaida5718]

Hi John I just purchased your book 110 things to see with a telescope, and can,t wait to use it with my new celestron 10'' starsense telescope. Thanks for teaching me about your love for astronomy.Clear Skies

[@LearnToStargaze]

Enjoy the book!!!!!

[@Boxxkarr]

I started Astronomy Christmas, 2022, with a 10 inch Dob and later a 102mm Celestron Omni refractor. Strictly visual, no Go To. Joined our local Astronomical Society and met Will. (Deep Sky Dude) He mentioned you, and your books. I bought the 110 Objects book, and as of Dec. 2023, I'm 59 Messier objects in! Thank you for an excellent and informative book! It is my Astronomy " bible"! Also the 102mm was because of your excellent review! Your work is appreciated!

[@LearnToStargaze]

Thanks for the feedback!!!

[@sixter4157]

I think this book will be high on my list of next acquisitions. I just picked up an old NexStar 102 in great shape for cheap. I took it out and was excited to see the banding of Jupiter clearly. Then I pointed it at M45, popped in the 32mm eyepiece and observed and said "wow". I was using the controls just to slew manually. I didn't bother with aligning for the goto features.

[@kenralph5072]

Such a great review! More of Jenn please. I think she speaks for many newcomers

[@Boxxkarr]

Excellent book! I have notes, dates times, where i was and who i was with all logged in it! It is my diary!

[@LearnToStargaze]

Thanks Paul!!!

[@bowrudder899]

I got the book and really like it. There's only one problem: It gives pictures of what you'll see through the eyepiece, but doesn't say if it's a correct image, or the mirror image (what you'd see through a refractor), or inverted upside down (what you'd see through a dob).

[@jerrycoon2797]

Very nice video. Thank you.

[@curronhill2744]

Good video and book

[@LearnToStargaze]

Thanks!

[@Jaskaransingh-yt4hu]

Hey buddy Just ordered the book Hope it will help me . I just started star gazing from last 10 days And thanks for wonderful videos This is dr jaskaran age 43 , from punjab , India

[@LearnToStargaze]

You’re most welcome! Enjoy the book!

[@281cu6]

I have the book, but it's difficult to tell how to locate the constellations when trying to find different objects. For instance, there isn't a clear way on how to get to Scorpio for example from the constellations we know how to hop from (e.g. Cassiopea, Ursa Minor/Major, etc). I was hoping the book would detail how this is done, but I'm still pretty unclear.

[@LearnToStargaze]

There is a big seasonal map at the beginning of each chapter that shows each of the targets and each of the constellations. Are you sure you have the right book?

[@nakulgupta7475]

Sir I have made my own telescope 60mm700fl exited to see them with this telescope

[@LearnToStargaze]

Very nice! I think that will be my next project!

[@nakulgupta7475]

@@LearnToStargaze glad that u replied

[@jongroubert4203]

Nice video and great observing tips! I'm going to recommend to the owner of the scope store that I work at that we carry this book in the store. (We already happily carry your other ones.). Any other books in the works?

[@LearnToStargaze]

Thanks, Jon!! Other books currently in the works are two astronomy books for the 6th grade science curriculum. The 110 Things book was such a massive undertaking, I’m guessing a sequel for this title is several years out.

[@bowrudder899]

I had a number of the cheap red dot finders break on me and upgraded to a red dot reflex gun sight instead. It's essentially the same thing but way higher quality. They're made out of steel and feel like they will never break.

[@billk5631]

Do you have a recommendation as to which one to get? Thanks.

[@bowrudder899]

@@billk5631 Do a search for "reflex red dot telescope". That should bring something up. There are a number of manufacturers. You'll need a bracket to elevate it. Altogether it could be $40-50.

[@mountainhobo]

Really like your videos, but the background music is distracting.

[@harshitmourya3304]

Sir will you please make a video on how can we apply for this RASC Certificate or what is the process. Really like your videos sir 👍🏻

[@LearnToStargaze]

Hi! If you have the book 110 Things to See with a Telescope, instructions are in the back. We also covered this in nearly every episode of “Explore The Universe” kzbin.info/www/bejne/opyznHyXj92Fp7s . But yes, it is a good reminder that I should touch on this again. Clear skies!

[@klttrll]

Is the sculptor galaxy visible with an 8” reflector

[@LearnToStargaze]

It would be visible in any telescope assuming you have dark skies. From a city it would be invisible even with the $1,000,000 set up at my university. And 8 inch Dobsonian would be a great telescope though.

[@klttrll]

Thank you 🙏🏻, dark skies are key

[@iDoctor2012]

Hi John, I want to buy your book "110 Things to See With a Telescope" I LIVE in tbe middle east, I was wondering if the book yearly references would work where I live?, thanks

[@LearnToStargaze]

It would absolutely work!

[@CrazyMan0824]

Gotta live only in Canada for the certification?

[@LearnToStargaze]

No, you can join RASC from anywhere. The Explore the Universe Certificate is free and does not require a membership. The messier certificate does require membership.

[@CrazyMan0824]

Excelente!

[@johnreid5814]

Yo we have the same name!

[@LearnToStargaze]

Yup, there are a lot of us!

[@michaelsatterfield6541]

I just ordered 110 Things to See With a Telescope.

[@LearnToStargaze]

Fantastic!

[@JoeJaguar]

could u send or loan me your 110 book to view and see if i like it to promote or to review what i think compared to the night watch book?

[@robertsonsid]

Used ones on Amazon are only $20 and new ones don't cost much more.

[@JoeJaguar]

@@robertsonsid well I’m not sure if you know I’m a KZbinr and I review stuff the author does not have to send me a loaner but normally if they want to have their products shown in different places magazines commercials televisions or even or blogs or stuff like that a lot of people send loaners and then when they’re done they do the review and then send it back I don’t know if this book is worth or better than the normal one I use nightwatch which is normally recommend for new people. Being I’ve been in hobby since 93 I don’t need an introduction starter book I was just asking if the author wants me to review his book and then write about it if I can get a loaner but I don’t think I wanna pay for the book to do a review

[@1TW1-m5i]

Tbh, sorting things by season is a very bad idea, as they are different for the southern hemisphere.

[@LearnToStargaze]

It’s technically sorted by month. Months are the same in the Southern Hemisphere.
