I like to use observing lists as a way or organize my star-gazing sessions, and so I thought it might be fun to copy what another usenet group did some years ago.
So let me present the idea to all of you. Please respond back with your favorite 20 or so non-Messier deep sky objects that are appropriate for 8 - 12 inch telescopes and that are visible from our latitude.
Does "Sorority Row" count? You used to be able to look into various bedrooms from the roof of the South Physics building at the UofU in the mid-seventies. If there is a God, it is still so...
By far, that tops my list of "celestial bodies" visible in a telescope.
Flourescing molecules and spiral galaxies don't stand a chance against Sorority Row.
I'm just sayin...
