Alright, Let's Go Star Hopping!
Welcome to the Star Hopping Deep Sky Object episode list. The following episodes are dedicated to the location of deep sky objects of all kinds.
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).
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).
In Episode SH032 of Star Hopping… We’ll be exploring the Scorpius region, and we’ll use our star hopping methods to find the bright open clusters Messier 6 (The Butterfly Cluster), Messier 7 (Ptolemy’s Cluster), and the irregularly shaped globular cluster Messier 62.
In Episode SH031 of Star Hopping… We’ll be exploring the Ophiuchus region, and we’ll use our star hopping methods to find the bright globular clusters Messier 10, Messier 12, and Messier 4, just across the border in Scorpius.
In Episode SH030 of Star Hopping… We’ll be exploring the rich Centaurus region, and we’ll use our star hopping methods to find the bright face-on barred Spiral galaxy, Messier 83, the peculiar galaxy NGC 5128, and the largest and brightest globular cluster in the sky, Omega Centauri.
In Episode SH025 of Star Hopping… We’ll be exploring the Hercules & Serpens region, and we’ll use our star hopping methods to find the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules, M13, the globular cluster M92 also in Hercules, and the globular cluster M5 in Serpens.
In Episode SH023 of Star Hopping… We’ll be exploring the Bootes & Corvus region, and we’ll use our star hopping methods to find the massive globular cluster Messier 3, the interacting Antennae Galaxies, and the gorgeous edge-on spiral, Messier 104.
In Episode SH021 of Star Hopping… We’ll finish up our exploration of the Realm of the Galaxies in the Virgo region, and using our star hopping methods to find Messier 58, Messier 90, The Siamese Twins Galaxies: NGC 4467 & NGC 4568, and the massive elliptical galaxy, Messier 87.
In Episode SH019 of Star Hopping… We’ll continue our exploration of the Realm of the Galaxies in the Virgo region, and using our star hopping methods to find Messier 84, Messier 86, The Eyes Galaxies: NGC 4435 & NGC 4438, and the beautiful spiral, Messier 88. We’ll also do a galaxy hop down Markarian’s Chain.
