I had a good view of Mars and M44 at 20x with the 5" f/5 refractor that serves as a finder scope for the Naylor Observatory's 17" classical Cassegrain this morning. I also viewed the two celestial objects with my Canon 15x50 IS. Mars (magnitude −0.6) will be 2.1° north-northwe...
Barnard 92 and Barnard 93 are a pair of opaque, dark nebulae which first found by astronomer Edward Emerson Barnard in 1919. Barnard 92 looks like a small, oval hole on the northwestern edge of the Star Cloud. Other locations of Messier objects...
