    head. Astrophotographers will catch the planetary nebula Pease 1 with long exposures.

    M56

    A globular cluster appearing as a small small fuzzy spot with binoculars. Close to Albireo. No
    real bright core.

    M92

    A beautiful globular cluster, as nice as the Hercules Cluster, when not so spectacular.
    Difcult
    to
    locate.

    NGC752
    NGC7293

    HOW TO USE THE MAP


    The map shows what you see looking at the zenith. The apparent inversion of East and West
    compared to road maps is normal. Hold the map face down above your head, and the cardinal points
    will be oriented as usual.
    As a starting point, face North, holding the map in your eyesight direction, with its North down. As you
    change the direction, rotate the map accordingly.
    The
    objects
    listed
    on
    the
    rst
    page
    can
    be
    observed
    with
    naked
    eyes,
    in
    clear
    skies,
    with
    moderate

    light pollution. Close your eyes one minute and let them adapt to darkness. You will be surprised how
    many more details will be apparent.
    Using binoculars, preferably with a tripod, will considerably enhance your star gazing experience.
    Many deep sky objects like galaxies and clusters will be within reach. Jupiter satellites and Saturns
    rings will also be visible. A spectacular experience for beginners in astronomy...
    Avoid the nights when the Moon is too bright as its light would make the observation of faint objects
    difcult.

    M29

    An open cluster close to the central star of the Swan cross. Can be seen with binoculars, but
    faint. Better observed with smaller telescopes. Easy to locate.

    M32

    The small companion of the Andromeda galaxy. A round and even halo with no details, very
    distinct and bright core.

    M33

    One of the nicest galaxy to be observed from Earth. Nebulous, moderate in size, faint in the
    middle
    and
    brighter
    at
    the
    edge.
    A
    must
    for
    astrophotography.
    Needs
    a
    large
    eld.

    NGC7662

    An open cluster with many faint stars. Contains about 100 stars. Use Algol as a reference in
    the PathFinder.

    The Snowball Nebula is worth a long exposure. A blue structured haze with a still visible
    central remaining star.

    NGC6934

    A large and bright globular cluster in the Dolphin constellation.

    M34
    M36

    An open cluster, less impressive than M37, one of the three Messier clusters in Auriga.

    A PLANETARIUM IN YOUR POCKET

    The most informative and interactive handheld planetarium App ! Starmap is available
    on the iPhone, iPad, and iTouch. When
    your device has a compass, Starmap displays
    exactly the portion of the sky you are pointing
    at. Hold the device parallel to your line of vision and discover the map smoothly scanning
    the sky as you move.
