This page contains a list of astronomical objects that are 'easy to observe', from both Faulkes Telescope North and South. The objects here are updated as the year goes on as new objects become visible whilst others are no longer. These objects are ideal for 'beginner observers' as they are often bright, and should give you good images.

For harder, more interesting objects, see the Alerts Page.
