NGC104
MOON CALENDAR
47 Tucanae, an intense globular cluster containing millions of stars. Easy to locate. A nice
object for beginners in astrophotography.
NGC2070
The Tarantula Nebula, such a beautiful object in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Worth a trip to
the southern hemisphere with your camera.
NGC5128
Centaurus A, a wonderful galaxy with round bright core and a large dust ring. A must for
astrophotographers.
M4
A globular cluster. It appears as a fuzzy object in small telescopes. Quite easy to locate as it
is very close to Antares.
M5
A globular cluster, appearing as a cloudy spot with binoculars. Difficult to locate though as it
has no bright neighboring star. Use the PathFinder function from Arcturus.
M8
The Lagoon Nebula, a giant interstellar cloud in the Milky Way. Appears as a white fuzzy
object in binoculars. A must for astrophotography.

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 first 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.
M10
Easily seen with binoculars as a nebulous spot. Individual stars can be identified with larger
telescopes. Good candidate for astrophotography.
M16
An open cluster in the Eagle Nebula. Appears as a diffuse spot. The nebula can only be
observed with astrophotography. Also known as the 'Pillars of the creation'.
M19
A globular cluster close to Antares. Appears as a diffuse spot with binoculars.
M22
Well observed with binoculars even if no stars can be identified. Close to Kaus Borealis and
easy to locate. Contains a planetary nebula accessible to larger telescopes.
Avoid the nights when the Moon is too bright as its light would make the observation of faint objects
difficult.
M28
A small tightly packed globular cluster in the Milky Way. Easy to locate, close to Kaus Borealis.
Can be observed with binoculars.
FOR LARGER TELESCOPES (1)
M53
A small globular cluster looking like M3. Hard to distinguish individual stars in the cluster.
Reached by star hopping from Vindemiatrix.
M55
A large globular cluster in Sagittarius, with a loose arrangement of stars. A good candidate for
astrophotography.
M62
A compact globular cluster near the center of the Milky Way. Bright. Easy to find near ε-scorpii.
IC2602
The Theta Carinae Cluster or Southern Pleiades is fainter than the Pleiades. Best views with
binoculars, from Miaplacidus.
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 Saturn’s
rings will also be visible. A spectacular experience for beginners in astronomy...
M20
The Trifid Nebula, a must for telescope owners. Best observed with astrophotography.
M54
Another small globular cluster, close to ζ-centauri. A very dense cluster, best observed
with astrophotography.
M64
The Black Eye Galaxy is another beautiful object best seen with astrophotography.
Beautiful contrast between the surrounding dust and its bright core.
M88
A faint spiral galaxy in the Virgo Cluster. Nice bluish color with a bright yellow core.
M104
The Sombrero Galaxy is a must for astrophotographers. A beautiful halo around a central
bright core and a very contrasted outer ring of dust.
NGC6302
The Bug Nebula or Butterfly Nebula is a bipolar planetary nebula. Small and bright object.
M12
A globular cluster, reserved to larger telescopes or astrophotography given its low stars
density.
M18
An open cluster with wonderful bluish stars on long exposures
M49
One of the brightest galaxy in the Virgo cluster. An elliptical galaxy with no arms to be
seen. Star hopping from ∂-Virgo.
M58
A barred spiral galaxy in Virgo. Best suited for astrophotography with a large telescope.
M59
Another member of the Virgo cluster of galaxies. Difficult to observe without
astrophotography.
M60
A large elliptical galaxy located within the Virgo cluster. Close to M59 with large fields. No
real structures visible.
M61
A faint spiral galaxy in the Virgo cluster of galaxies. Good conditions required and long
exposures.
