Astronomical League’s Southern Sky Binocular Club

Astronomical League’s Southern Sky Binocular Club

The Astronomical League

has provided a list of 73 (non-Messier) Southern Deep Sky objects which

should be observable with 7×50 binoculars (or larger) without much

difficulties, provided the objects come high enough over the horizon,

and the sky is sufficiently dark.

For observing any 50 of these 73 objects with binoculars,

the Astronomical League grants a certificate; look on their

original Southern Sky Binocular Club page.

This collection is of course also suitable as observing list for amateurs

independent of this condition, as these objects can be viewed with

moderately sized telescopes also.

They are presented here linked to the Messier pages whenever possible.
