While this list is by no means exhaustive, it will hopefully act as a starting point to help you get your own personal observing list started, or perhaps provide some inspiration to get yours refined if you've already started one.

familiar classic, but it's technically it is actually a Southern object!

• – at the zenith! • Sagittarius – at the zenith! • Bug Nebula (NGC 6302) • Murrell 1 - discovered by OzSky’s • Zeta Scorpii - One of the most luminous in the very own Andrew Murrell • Horsehead Nebula (IC 434) - A classic, but it's • (NGC 6514 / M 20) technically a Southern Object! • (NGC 6523 / M 8) • The Emu (Dark Nebula) - You won't believe it until you • Swan / (NGC 6618 / M 17) see it!

• - The closest star to (other than the , of course!) • The “Field of Nothing” - You guessed it: a field of view • (NGC 104) – The BEST globular containing absolutely nothing (well, almost...) • NGC 362 – Our "spare" globular near 47 Tuc • Aurora Australis - Yes, The Southern Lights. Not likely • (SMC / NGC 292) to see this, but we have seen it from similar latitudes • (LMC) in the past! • (NGC 2070) • (NGC 1566)

The OzSky Star Safari | [email protected] The OzSky Star Safari website contains numerous useful observing resources which you might like to review prior to your trip, including: • The Bambury 600 List • The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) • The of • Treasures of the SMC

Further information and additional observing lists can also be found on the OzSky Star Safari website at http://www.OzSky.org under the Resources link, however in the interim, hopefully this email will serve to whet your appetite for what else there might be to discover in the Southern Night Skies at the OzSky Star Safari.

As mentioned previously, this list is just a very small sample of some of the Southern Skies Eye Candy objects and will hopefully inspire you to get some ideas together for your own OzSky Star Safari southern skies observing lists. 47 Tucanae – NGC 104

The Homunculus in NGC 3372 Seyfert Galaxy – NGC 1566

Spiral Planetary – NGC 5189 The Jewel Box – NGC 4755 The Tarantula Nebula – NGC 2070
