Star Hopping
In this series of programs, we'll show you the most beautiful sights in the night sky, and explain exactly how to find them with your binoculars or telescope. The reason we create these podcasts is to help beginning amateur astronomers learn the sky and get more enjoyment out of their telescopes and astronomy in general. For more details, see our website at http://StarHopping.org.
