SH015 – The Different Types of Galaxies – 1/14/
In this Star Hopping ‘Extra”, we discuss all the different types of galaxies, and how they might appear in your telescope. Within each type of galaxy, there are variations that could be confusing if you don’t know the characteristics of each. We’ll set you straight so you will be able to tell which type of galaxy you’re looking at in your eyepiece.
SH014 – Find M65, M66, and NGC 2903 – 1/07/
Episode 14 of Star Hopping with KPO has been published to YouTube. In this episode, we’ll be exploring the Leo region, and using our star hopping methods to find Messier 65, Messier 66, and the galaxy NGC 2903.
SH013 – Find M79, NGC 1365, and NGC 1318 – 12/31/2105
This episode of Star Hopping checks out the fainter regions just to the lower right of Orion and Canis Major, the dim constellations of Lepus, Caelum, Horologium, Eridanus, and Fornax. As you will see there are some amazing deep sky objects in the area, but they are a bit difficult to get to! We’ll be checking out M79, a globular cluster, and NGC 1365 and NGC 1318; both gorgeous galaxies.
