\nWhen one gazes up into a dark, moonless sky with unaided eyes, we see what ancient astronomers were familiar with\u2026.the Milky Way, fainter stars and a few “fuzzy” objects.

This is the challenge in the Deep Sky programs: finding, identifying, observing and recording these faint fuzzies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
