Explore the Universe with Stargazing Cards
Unlock the beauty of the cosmos with Stargazing Cards. Whether you’re a seasoned stargazer or just beginning to explore, these cards make it easy and exciting to connect with the universe. Each card brings a celestial wonder to life, guiding you on an unforgettable journey through the night sky.
This set is based on the Messier Catalog - the most famous list of 110 deep-sky objects, including nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies. Originally compiled in the 18th century by French astronomer Charles Messier to help distinguish these objects from comets, the catalog was later expanded through the work of his collaborator, Pierre Méchain. Today, it remains the most popular observing guide among amateur astronomers - and the perfect starting point for discovering the wonders of the deep sky.

These cards are really nice, on thick paper and moisture resistant. Lots of information on each object which you don't normally find except by using Google or Siri at the telescope, and then your night vision is destroyed. These are perfect for use with a dim red light. I love them.
I expect to use them during public star parties with the San Diego Astronomy Association. (SDAA).
These cards are fantastic. The information and pictures are very helpful in locating deep space objects and knowing what to expect when viewing visually through a telescope. They are perfect for determining targets for an evening and for outreach.
There seems to be a bit of an assumption amongst some folk that these are for kids. All I can say is that if they are, I'm definitely a big kid!
They are robust, well printed, well laid out and contain a lot of information and useful images. I bought the Messier set, and they were just what I wanted, in fact, they exceeded my expectations in both content and quality.
A really great idea, beautifully executed. I will probably buy more sets.
The delivery was very prompt, and there were many useful update messages before they arrived.
They would make a great gift for a kid, an adult or yourself! Just buy them!
The cards look really nice, however I have not had the chance to go outside at night to view those stars yet.
