It's nice to have bit of a plan..what are the old favourites you are going to visit tonight and which are the new objects you are going to add tonight

that way when you get frustrated with not being able to find some object that should be perfectly easy to find , you can fall back on an old trusty friend. So for me a few old friends and a few new challenges is a nice mix

I know people who have planned the whole night out, have detailed notes. and star charts and log books and so on...and I wonder if they are getting so regimented whether they are actually having any fun!


Sometimes I just like a casual sweep through the sky just looking at interesting objects and not worrying whether Mr Messier or Mr (Caldwell) Moore or whoever thought to name or number any particular object

IMHO thats when a big dob-like yours- is best ..when you really don't have a destination but are just enjoying the journey.
