Hello,
I am a visual observer from Europe and like to observe the northern skies with my homebuilt 16 inch Newton.
On nov 10th, i will arrive in Australia after a 25 hour flight.
This will be my first visit to the southern hemisphere.
And that puts me in a strange situation; Even though I am an experienced observer, I will be confronted with totally new stars in the skies. I will have to learn the way like a beginner.
So I need your help.
Which deepsky objects do you advise?
What is the top 100 of must-see objects, below -20 declination?
I will be bringing a 10 inch travel dobsonian, eyieces and filters (O3 ,UHC-narrowband , CPB). Furthermore a 20x80 binocular.
Best regards,
Harro
