Thank you for the continuing podcast, Night Sky Targets"! As a newbie, I look forward to finding the objects you mention. I found the Keystone, but had difficulty with M10. I just came inside to log tonight's findings a also send you a note. I use Celestron's Skymaster 15x70 and love what I can see! Someday I hope to advance to large telescope. But for now, I just find it challenging to get oriented between Arcturus, Vega, Spica and discover the constellations! Thank you!

Thanks for the nice note. I’m glad the podcasts are helping you find your way around the sky. This time next year, you’ll be surprised at how well you know the stars and constellations. And, don’t worry. I won’t run out of objects anytime soon!
