A nice object for beginners. Easy to locate. The Ptolemy cluster. Can be viewed with the naked eye, and identified as a brighter zone in the Milky Way. Kra z Mi nk The Arietids, a strong meteor shower in Aries. Visible from the 22nd of May to the 2nd of July, with a maximum on the 7th of June. ND SCA M6 8 Observe Saturn rings in small telescopes and binoculars. One of the marvels of our Solar System. The planet is quite bright and can be located very easily. US 7 2 MU APUS 86 I260 Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System. Its satellites can be observed with binoculars. Very bright and easy to find.

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. MOON CALENDAR Friday 2 Friday 9 Saturday 17 Saturday 24 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.
