Even if you don't have a telescope or binoculars, you can still enjoy naked eye star gazing. The book that got me started and which I highly recommend: The Stars: A New Way to See Them by H. A. Rey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stars:_A_New_Way_to_See_Th... | ||

Nice! I recently bought a Dwarf 3 smart telescope and immediately hit the same problem — figuring out what to look at and when. I ended up building my own solution that takes a different approach: https://astraview.app | ||

At first I thought this was only a list of night time objects to view, but then I saw the site has an extensive tools section. One of those tools is a Bahtinov Mask, which I’ve never heard of, but I’m going to 3d print one from this site and use it to try and focus my scope. | ||

The text is vapid AI slop. Is there anything "practical" or "curated" about this? | ||

If all will pardon the name drop, I'm listing my all-time most revered astronomy resource. It's not quite what is was 20 years ago, and I no longer look up much, but I've managed to get a smile from it with each visit. It's one of the few websites I still have an affection for. | ||
