M 104, Stargate and Jaws
Hi all,
I just added a wonderful trio of deepsky objects to my Deepsky TOP 100: Stargate, Jaws and M 104. Stargate and Jaws are two asterisms from Phil Harrington's book "The Deepsky, an introduction". They will help you to locating M 104, a bright galaxy near the Corvus-Virgo border. All three objects are very easy to locate and recognize, even from a suburban backyard. I found them with my 8-inch in a heavily light polluted southern sky. My advice, get out and hunt them down! For an article with an online finder chart, a downloadable finder chart (PDF), and sketches of the objects, follow the link below. http://www.backyard-astro.com/deepsky/top100/15.html Enjoy!
