Become an Expert in locating beautiful Deep Sky Objects
Our goal here at Star Hopping is to take you on a journey. A journey from where you start out enjoying looking at the night sky but have difficulty locating deep sky objects, to a final destination where you find celestial targets with ease, and can share them with your friends and family.
It can be very frustrating being under the stars and spending more time hunting for targets that actually viewing them. With our target location methods, explained though our video tutorials, digital guides, and podcasts, you’ll be locating and viewing deep sky objects in no time.
