WITH BINOCULARS AND SMALL TELESCOPES
M13
A must: the Hercules cluster, could even be seen with the naked eye in very dark skies.
Quite easy to locate from η-Her.
M27
A must for all telescope owners, the Dumbbell Nebula is one of the most reachable object in
the northern hemisphere. Easy to catch on camera.
M51
The Whirlpool Galaxy is in fact a couple of galaxies. A really beautiful object for astrophotography.
With a telescope is appears as two faint spots, being the cores of the galaxies.
M57
The Ring Nebula is one of the most famous objects on the sky. Spectacular for beginners.
Easily found between the two southern stars of Lyra.
M101
The Pinwheel Galaxy is a wonderful subject for astrophotography. Very contrasted bluish
spiral arms. A yellow bright core.
NGC5128
Centaurus A, a wonderful galaxy with round bright core and a large dust ring. A must for
astrophotographers.
M3
Well observed with smaller telescopes. Difficult to locate as there are no close bright stars.
Use the Pathfinder function.
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.

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.
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...
Avoid the nights when the Moon is too bright as its light would make the observation of faint objects
difficult.
M8
The Lagoon Nebula, a giant interstellar cloud in the Milky Way. Appears as a white fuzzy
object in binoculars. A must for astrophotography.
M10
Easily seen with binoculars as a nebulous spot. Individual stars can be identified with larger
telescopes. Good candidate for astrophotography.
M11
The Wild Duck Cluster, appears as a diffuse spot with binoculars. Smaller telescopes can
identify individual stars. Looks like a globular cluster though.
M20
The Trifid Nebula, a must for telescope owners. Best observed with 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'.
M54
M19
A globular cluster close to Antares. Appears as a diffuse spot with binoculars.
Another small globular cluster, close to ζ-centauri. A very dense cluster, best observed
with astrophotography.
M63
The Sunflower Galaxy is a spiral galaxy with large contrast. A very good candidate for
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.
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.
FOR LARGER TELESCOPES (1)
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
M26
An open cluster close to the Wild Duck Cluster. An interstellar dust cloud covers its
center. Best seen with astrophotography.
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.
