Telescopic Companion to the Messier Objects

We are happy to introduce the Bright S*T*A*R 100 Observing Program!  This program is designed for  light polluted areas. Most of the objects are brighter than 9th magnitude, and therefore you can conduct some if not all of the project right from your own backyard!  Many of the objects can even be observed using binoculars.  We have included old favorites as well as some from more obscure catalogs.  We hope these more obscure ones will help hone your star-hopping skills!
