Jupiter has always been a favourite , such a dynamic target , whether its surface features or the movements of the Jovian moons its simply awesome . Star clusters and gobulars stand out for me although any DSO ranks just as equally .NGC 3532 and other open star clusters around Eta Carine make that part of the sky a favourite along with the Scorpius {M7}and Sag and the numerous gobulars. Along with clusters i like just cruzing along rich starfeilds and noting any asterisms on the way. Double stars and plantery nebula are up there as well ....Acrux and the Ring neb.


Ps:comets as well , Comet Hakuyate of 96 was one of the best sights ive ever seen , from a ultra dark site near Albany WA
