How can you learn your way around? Fortunately, you can make a start just by observing with your own eyes, and in doing so you will be one step ahead when it comes to observing through a telescope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can test your own naked-eye visual acuity with the following list of objects, compiled by the American astronomer W H Pickering.
