| Observing
the sky can be very rewarding. Many objects can be observed with the
naked eye. One of the remotest objects visible to the naked eye is the
Andromeda Galaxy , distance : 2.3 million light years!! More
targets become visible in binoculars and small telescopes. Over 300
deep-sky objects are visible in a 60 mm telescope! The favorite targets
of amateur astronomers are the 109 Messier Objects. All these celestial
wonders are a visual feast for the amateur stargazer. It is my pleasure
to share with you my collection of observations of the night sky. I
have named it 'My
Pencil Sketches'.
In no way will my simple renditions have any scientific value. But the
feeling to have observed and drawn these objects myself is great.
Somehow it brings me to closer to the answer of that one question : Why
are we here? Braking News! I have written a book for you: "The Casual Sky Observer's Guide." |
