Abstract
There is literally a universe of objects competing (unbeknownst to the objects themselves, of course) for your attention at the eyepiece, and one question that you may be asking is: Where do I get started? This depends on what type(s) of object(s) you are interested in viewing and what your experience level is. Do you want to view only a small sampling of objects or do you like the challenge and satisfaction of long observing lists? What is the size and capability of your telescope, and what type of dark site do you have access to? These should all be taken into consideration when outlining an observing program.
