Alright, Let's Go Star Hopping!
In Episode SH041 of Star Hopping… We’ll look at the Sculptor region, and show you how to find three incredible needle galaxies. We’ll locate NGC 247 in the neighboring constellation of Cetus, NGC 7793, a violent galaxy with a hidden mystery, and the huge half degree long NGC 55.
In Episode SH040 of Star Hopping… We’ll look at the Andromeda region, and show you how to find Messier 76, the Little Dumbbell Nebula, the huge open cluster NGC 752, and the familiar shaped PacMan Nebula.
In Episode SH039 of Star Hopping… We’ll look at the Perseus region, and show you how to find the Heart & Soul Nebula, the open cluster Messier 34, and the amazing needle galaxy NGC 891.
In Episode SH038 of Star Hopping… We’ll look at the Cepheus region, and show you how to find three challenge objects – IC 5146, the Cocoon Nebula, NGC 7023 – the mysterious Iris Nebula, and the very active Fireworks Galaxy, NGC 6946.
In Episode SH037 of Star Hopping… We’ll look at the Cassiopeia region, and show you how to find the nice open cluster Messier 103, the unique open cluster NGC 457, also known as the E.T. Cluster, and the gorgeous dense open cluster, NGC 7789, also known as Caroline’s Rose Cluster.
In Episode SH036 of Star Hopping… We’ll look at the Sagitta, Delphinus, and Equuleus region, and show you how to find the loose globular cluster Messier 71, the nearly naked eye globular Messier 2, and the top-tier globular cluster, Messier 15.
In Episode SH035 of Star Hopping… We’ll be exploring the Sagittarius region. We’ll use our star hopping methods to find the the pretty open cluster Messier 25, the globular cluster Messier 28, and the somewhat difficult to locate globular cluster, Messier 55.
In Episode SH034 of Star Hopping… We’ll be exploring the Cygnus region, and we’ll use our star hopping methods to find the The Coathanger (Brocchi’s Cluster), The Veil Nebula (NGC 6960), and the North American Nebula (NGC 7000).
Consider becoming a Star Hopping Patron Production of the single weekly Star Hopping series and it’s related media (Field Notes, Podcast, Blog series, and posting) is now a full time job, and I would love to be able to do more.
In Episode SH033 of Star Hopping… We’ll be exploring the Scutum region, and we’ll use our star hopping methods to find three top-notch deep sky objects. We’ll find the Wild Duck Cluster (Messier 11), the Eagle Nebula (Messier 16), and the Swan Nebula (Messier 17).
