Astronomy and Cosmology
 
 C h e c k l i s t @
 
     This checklist contains 350+ items on it and will take any amateur astronomer years to see all. Some of the objects require much more powerful telescopes to see so don't get upset if most of the items you can't see or can't find. A few are only visible in the southern hemisphere, but most are visible in the northern or both. I personally haven't seen all these items so you know your in for a challenge. I suggest start easy like with the moon and work your way up to clusters and nebulas which with both require better scopes. There are even items that only telescopes like Hubble could see so don't get aggravated. Good luck searching!
