Stellarium Tutorial On Deep-Sky Star-Hopping

This video aims to help telescope beginners go beyond just the bright Moon and planets and find much fainter deep-sky objects such as globular clusters, open star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies. The video is particularly designed to assist astronomers using simple non-tracking Dobsonian telescopes. This video will show you how to us a planetarium app called Stellarium to pick suitable objects to observe. The video then show you the star-hopping method to navigate your telescope to your target object.
