The MoonThe MoonThe nearest thing to point a telescope at, and the one target that never needs a dark sky.
Triangulum GalaxyM33Galaxy · TriangulumA whole spiral galaxy seen face-on, close enough that its individual star-forming regions show up as pink knots along the arms.- IllustrationTrifid NebulaM20Emission nebula · SagittariusA cloud of gas lit from inside by the young stars forming within it.
- IllustrationUranusPlanetA world in our own Solar System, moving against the fixed stars from night to night.
Being in this catalogue means the platform knows about an object. Whether it is above the horizon on a particular night, and whether the first telescope can usefully image it, are separate questions. Saving a plan records what you want; the scheduler answers those when booking opens.
