Open
observing will be the order of the event. The Moon will
be a favorite target, as will Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and
perhaps Neptune (although
tiny!). There will
be many DSOs (Deep Sky Objects) of all types to observe
including a galaxy or two, open and globular clusters,
planetary nebula, emission nebula, and double-stars. The
constellation Sagittarius will be perfectly placed 20°
above the southern horizon and it's full of fascinating
objects. We'll be spending a great deal of time there!
In other words, many objects of all types to observe and
appreciate!
