Tabelle mit Deep-Sky-Objekten | Deep-Sky-Anregungen von Marcus Shaw | Referenzen/Links
Die folgende Tabelle einfach zu findender größerer Deep-Sky-Objekte habe ich aus den Büchern Deep Sky Reiseführer/Reiseatlas (Stoyan/Feiler & Noack) und Atlas für Himmelsbeobachter (Karkoschka) zusammengestellt (siehe Referenzen). Einige wenige Objekte habe ich nach meinen Erfahrungen ergänzt. Diese Liste soll mir - und vielleicht auch anderen - helfen, Deep-Sky-Objekte für die Beobachtung im Jahresverlauf auszuwählen. Die Deep Sky Reiseführer/Reiseatlas-Bewertung kann dabei eine Hilfe sein (sie basiert auf Beobachtungen mit Teleskopen bis 150 mm Öffnung sowie dunklem Landhimmel).
Außerdem gebe ich hier Anregungen weiter, die ein Hobby-Astronom einer Neueinsteigerin gegeben hat und die ich recht nützlich finde. Vielleicht finden diese Anregungen auf diese Weise weitere Verbreitung als bisher schon. Ich habe sie etwas überarbeitet, auch textlich, aber nicht ins Deutsche übersetzt (ein Deutscher hat sie einer Griechin auf Englisch gegeben - das Internet ist international...).
Hinweis: Für Objekte, die ich selbst beobachtet habe, erstelle ich im Laufe der Zeit zusätzliche Seiten. Diese enthalten auch Sternkarten (erstellt mit SkySafari), die das Auffinden der Objekte am Himmel erleichtern. Diese Seiten sind über Links in der Tabelle unten erreichbar und erscheinen in einem neuen Fenster.

Spalte "E(mpfehlung)": Objekte mit "+" halte ich für besonders lohnend und (meistens) einfach. Sie entsprechen mehr oder weniger meiner ehemaligen Kurzliste.

Die nachfolgenden Anregungen zur Beobachtung von Deep-Sky-Objekten hat Marcus Shaw (Schorhr) 2014 einer Griechin (Trillian!) im Forum von Stargazers Lounge gegeben (Link siehe unten). Sie hatte sich nach Rückfrage im Forum ein Skywatcher Heritage P130-Dobson-Teleskop (5") gekauft, und die Anregungen berücksichtigen natürlich die Möglichkeiten des Teleskops. Ich finde diese Anregungen für mich und andere Anfänger sehr nützlich und veröffentliche sie deshalb hier in etwas angepaßter Form. Die Beiträge stammen von Ende Mai 2014 bis Anfang Juli 2014, so daß sich die Anregungen vornehmlich auf Objekte beziehen, die zu dieser Zeit (im Sommer) zu beobachten sind.
Objekt | Name | Sternbild | Typ | Original-Kommentar (englisch) | |||||
M 57 | Ringnebel | Lyra/Leier | PN | Ring nebula - Between the two stars at the outside/bottom Lyra. Looks like a blurry star in low magnification. At around 100 x you should see that it's a ring, if the sky is truly dark it should be very obvious. | |||||
Praesepe, Bienenstock, Krippe | Cancer/Krebs | OS | Nice open star cluster for low magnification. The darker the sky, the more beautiful it gets. In the center of Cancer. | ||||||
M 27 (NGC 6853) | Hantelnebel | Vulpecula/Füchschen | PN | If you draw a line from M57 to Albireo, and extend it further, you will find another nebula. A dark sky helps, but it is definitely one of the easier one's. | |||||
M 81/82 | Bode-Galaxie(n) | Großer Bär/Wagen | G | Imagine a diagonal through the Big Dipper (actually Ursa Major!) and extend it outside of the Big Dipper once, then the two galaxies should be visible in the low magnification eyepiece - those two will show under mediocre conditions at the edge of a city. Even if you cannot make out much detail, one should be round, one long-ish. Under very good conditions you may be able to see the irregular center of the cigar galaxy. | |||||
M 101 | Spiralrad-/Feuerrad-Galaxie | Großer Bär/Wagen | G | Spiral galaxy, preeetttyyy... If the sky is dark. But in 5" near civilization, you can usually not expect this kind of detail. Under city sky it may not be visible at all. If you have decent city limit conditions, it may look like ... If light pollution is strong, it may just be a faint glow, or not visible. | |||||
M 51 | Strudel-Galaxie | Canes Venatici | G | One of my favorites. Under the handle of the Big Dipper (part of Ursa Major). Under good "city limit conditions" the two cores should easily be visible. If you observe it for long, if the sky is very clear, you might see some details even in 5". I once saw a faint band between the cores. It will never look like ... but it still is amazing to see a galaxy almost 3.0000.000 light years away that shows what will happen with our galaxy and Andromeda in "a couple of years"... | |||||
M 13 | Herkules-Kugelsternhaufen | Herkules | KS | The cluster in Hercules. Aim for under his armpit, it's easy
to find. My first observation was a bit of a disappointment. A faint glow,
not more... Important: Observe when it's dark, no moon. Use indirect vision! The center of our eye's retina is the sharpest but not as light sensitive as the outer regions. So if you try NOT to look at M13, you may see more stars in the corner of your eye. |
|||||
Canes Venatici | KS | Also check out M3 (stated after covering M13). | |||||||
NGC 6826 | Blinkender Planetarischer Nebel | Cygnus/Schwan | PN | The Blinking Nebula. Same game: If you look at it directly, you will see the small star. If you look away, you will see the larger, dim nebula. If you quickly look at it again, it vanishes. Thus the Blinking Nebula... | |||||
NGC 884/869 | h & chi Persei Doppelsternhaufen | Perseus | OS | Beautiful, look like diamond fireworks. This is the sort of object the low magnification, wide field heritage shows well... | |||||
M 31 | Andromeda-Galaxie | Andromeda | G | Under dark skies visible with the naked eye, larger than the moon... Under mediocre night sky it will just be a oval smudge. | |||||
NGC 7000 | Nordamerika-Nebel | Cygnus/Schwan | GNE | Big nebula, while the Orion Nebula is not visible in the summer, the North America Nebula is. | |||||
Cr 399 | Kleiderbügelhaufen | Vulpecula/Füchschen | SM | The Coat Hanger. The sky is full of commodities :-) | |||||
--- | Albireo | Cygnus/Schwan | Doppel- |
Close to M57, one of the stars of Cygnus/Swan, is Albireo. While stars always appear as small dots, this one reveals something beautiful: If you magnify it, you will see that there are actually TWO stars. One is red, one is blue. Pretty double star. |
Typ: G = Galaxie, KS = Kugelsternhaufen, OS = offener Sternhaufen, PN = planetarischer Nebel, GN = galaktischer Nebel (GNE = Emission, GNR = Reflexion), SM = Sternenmuster
Albireo (double star) should split at as low as 8 x. ... It's much more pretty with your own eyes, the colors are much more noticeable than with a deep sky camera.
The ring nebula (M 57) or M 13 (as another example...) are a faint smudge in low magnification, larger than a star. When increasing magnification under light pollution, they may not show more details. That gets kind of frustrating.
I have observed the ring nebula under a full moon before. It works, but yesterday the moon was so close it did not work well. Under dark skies it is really obvious, if you find it. So save yourself frustration and wait for darker conditions when attempting DSO. It will still be a faint smoke ring, not the colorful explosion you see on images from the Hubble telescope.
For some it looks like a faint smudge. But it's kind of fascinating to see the remains of a super nova with your own eyes, far, far away. With larger telescope you could even see the small center star remain.
My "first ring nebula" took me 30 minutes as I just did not know what I had to look for, much like you now. We all have been there. After one or two successful observation of objects you kind of get a sense for scale, what to look for and frustration is blown away. And always have a "plan b": If you can't find something, observe something you already know for practice and to avoid wanting to throw the telescope down the balcony.
In the 25 mm eyepiece, it almost looks like when a star is just slightly off focus, but no matter how carefully you try to focus, all the stars next to it are sharp, small dots, the ring nebula looks like a faint blurry star. With 8-12 mm it already looks like a tiny ring. If light pollution is an issue, the darker center might be less obvious.
