A catalog of more than 100 deep-sky objects that you can see in a small telescope was compiled by Charles Messier in the 1700s. They are often faint, fuzzy patches of light in any telescope. However, some deep-sky objects can be seen in small telescopes like mine. Also, light pollution filters may help improve the view of some of these objects.
Many stars are actually arrangements of two or more stars that orbit each other.
The stars in multiple star systems may be different sizes, brightnesses and colors. Variable star observing is one area in which amateurs can contribute greatly to the science of astronomy, because professional astronomers do not have the time necessary for such observations. The Pleiades Star Clusters Star clusters are close associations of thousands of stars or more. They can be open clusters or globular clusters. Star clusters offer spectacular views in a small telescope.
