What do I point that shiny new telescope at ?



Clicky here !

Each month they publish a printable basic sky map with a list of the best objects to view.

Its at the right price and a good place to start
(Just make sure you download the Southern Hemishpere one)

Chech your local Saturday paper also, the Murdock press runs a star chart once a month that is very informative about objects available and here in SA only cost the 1.60 for the paper.

For live sky maps I go to:

www.fourmilab.ch/yoursky/cities.html

Not very easy for newbies though

Getting a good planisphere is essential for general navigation and the Royal Astronomical Society of New Zealand has a stunning set of charts by constellation by month. Have a look
