You don't need a telescope to study the deep sky, a pair of 10x50 binoculars is quite sufficient to view many objects but remember to attach binoculars to something solid to eliminate shaking.

Telescopic users have virtually the whole universe to explore and even a small telescope will resolve hundreds of open clusters, split thousands of double stars and even view some structural detail in the brightest galaxies, all with a 6 inch aperture. Larger apertures will resolve more detail giving a clearer and brighter view of these magnificent objects and all that is required is a healthy dose of enthusiasm and adventure to voyage among the stars from the comfort and safety of your own backyard.

The SPA Deep Sky Section is here to help and assist anyone who would like to view these fine objects whether you are a novice or seasoned veteran there's something the deep-sky section can offer you.

When you join the S.P.A. Deep sky section you will receive an observing form for your observations, a guide about observing and sketching deep-sky objects and an introduction to the deep sky which you can download from the download section.
