Introducon
Thanks for choosing the ConCards for your observing!
What you have here is a set of star charts, one per constellaon. All the constellaons that
are at least parally visible from the southern hemisphere are illustrated (Camelopardalis,
Cassiopeia, Cepheus, Draco and Ursa Minor have been omied as these are too far north).
Each constellaon has a fanciful sck gure drawn connect-the-dots style, as well as the
ocial boundaries of the constellaon in a bold dashed-line. These boundaries can be used
to help you orient the card correctly when youre sll learning to nd the constellaons
using the ve nder charts.
Each ConCard also shows the
posions of the coolest deepconstellaon name, meaning
sky objects (and occasionally
abbreviaon, genive form
mulple stars or interesng
approximate centre
visibility
single stars) within that
constellaon, together making
up a wonderful bucket list of
ve-star coolness rang
celesal treasures to collect.
origin
Special charts for objects of
size (in terms of hands)
parcular interest the Horse
number of stars brighter than V=6.5
Head Nebula, 3C 273 (the
brightest quasar) and Proxima
Centauri (nearest star to the
Sun) are also presented. Several deep-sky catalogues and observing aides make up the
remaining pages.
The ConCards are presented as A4-sized pages for those who prefer a larger print. You
could also have them printed A5-sized, double-sided and then spiral-bound to create a
smallish, handy and comprehensive guide to the southern sky.
Special thanks to Hendrik van Rensburg, Johan Reef, George Dehlen and Magda Streicher
for suggesons and for spong various bugs in the pre-release versions. Remaining bugs
are all my bad.
The ConCards can be downloaded from DOCdb.net [ hp://www.docdb.net/tutorials/
concards.php ] where you can also nd a treasury of deep-sky related info.

The outline of the Milky


Way is shown in the
accompanying diagram,
at three brightness
contours. The faintest
(outer) contour shows
the Milky Way as it may
appear at a true-dark
site to a perfectly darkadapted observer.
The innermost contour
shows the brightest
porons of the Milky
Way. These are the
Great Sagiarius Star
Cloud [18h, 30], the
Scutum Star Cloud
[18h45m, 07], the
Norma Star Cloud
[16h15m, 54], and
the region around eta
Carinae [10h45m, 60].
An intermediate
contour level shows
the next-brightest
regions, mostly
surrounding the star
clouds just menoned,
with noceable zones
in Cygnus, Aquila,
Ophiuchuis and
Centaurus.
The most indisnct
poron of the Milky
Way is around the Ancentre, 180 away from
Sagiarius, along the
Taurus-Auriga border.
Noceable dark patches
include the Coal Sack
near Crux and the Pipe
Nebula in Ophiuchus
[17h30m, 26].
Extensive dark regions
include the Great
Ri (stretching from
Sagiarius past Altair
towards Deneb) and
the Great Llama (from
epsilon Scorpii towards
the Coal Sack, with
alpha and beta Centauri
seen as the Eyes of
the Llama). The Great
Llama is known as the
Dark Emu to certain
Aboriginal peoples.

(V=12.9) quasar known and one of the
closest. It lies 2.4 Giga-light years away and
is 4 trillion mes brighter than the Sun. It
lies at the centre of a giant ellipcal galaxy
and is classied as an AGN (acve galacc nucleus). Its energy source is presumably a massive black hole interacng
with a surrounding accreon disk. 3C 273 is the zero-point for the Internaonal Celesal Reference System (ICRS).

A checklist for composing descripons of deep-sky objects


These guidelines will help you to get the most out of your observing sessions by providing a checklist
of things to look out for when you examine a deep-sky object. The checklist is not meant as a rigid
thought-constraining framework, but rather as a tool to make sure you dont forget to note a parcular
aspect.

Nebulae
* What are your rst impressions?
* How easy is it to see? (visibility; brightness; magnitude)
* What shape is the nebula?
* How big is the nebula?
* How does the brightness change from edge to centre? (brightness prole)
* Is there a nuclear region?
* Are the edges sharp or diuse?
* Are there darker parts or areas of uneven brightness?
* How well does the nebula stand out from the background eld?
* What colour is the nebula?
* Are there stars very near, or within, the nebula?
* How does it relate to the surrounding star eld?
* Rate your condence in this observaon.
Star clusters
* What are your rst impressions?
* How easy is it to see? (visibility; brightness; magnitude)
* What shape is the cluster?
* How big is the cluster?
* Are individual stars seen? (unresolved ... granular ... parally resolved ... well resolved, etc.)
* Are the stars concentrated towards the centre? (not at all ... slightly ... strongly, etc.)
* How does the brightness change from edge to centre? (brightness prole)
* How many stars can you see? (make an esmate; count the number within a specied diameter)
* What is the range of their brightness? (nearly the same ... mixed; esmate magnitudes)
* Is there an obvious central or other prominent star?
* Do any of the stars have a parcular colour?
* Are any of the stars double?
* Are there chains, rows, or clumps of stars?
* Are there prominent empty spaces or starless patches?
* Is there a background glow (unresolved stars/nebulosity)?
* How does the cluster relate to the surrounding star eld?
* Rate your condence in this observaon.
