Starhopping 101 - Section 4 diagonals Working Efficiently sites

This is part four of my 30 minute course on how to use astronomical charts to find objects in the sky. The course includes animations to show what you will actually see at the eyepiece.

In this final section I will talk about scopes that have diagonal mirrors. I will then talk about how to work efficiently. Finally I will talk about the importance of traveling to (and preserving) dark skies.

I have a number of videos planned for release during the next year. For more information see my website

Thank you that is a good suggestion. Since YouTube does not allow you to edit videos once they are posted I will add it to my website.

Hi Rob: Nice starhopping videos. Thanks for taking time to make these videos. I know, it takes tons of effort and lots time to put together what you did. It's incredible. Keep up the good work. You need to get these advertised on 'Sky and Telescope' and 'Astronomy' magazines. Good Luck.

Great videos! I just started with astro things and this was useful!

May I suggest a topic for youur next video - how to work with exact angles (RA/DEC) in sky by using your finger knuckles etc.

Thanks again for the series!
