Thank you Janine for this quick and easy video on the coat hanger ast. I will certinally get my 10x50s and my 6 inch Dobsonian out soon as the sky clears up in South La. Clear sky's.

A favourite asterism to show friends through binoculars. Thanks for the great videos!

I love rewatching your videos and pausing on the pictures to try to test my ID skills. The photo at 1:19 is amazing, I really enjoyed looking for Lyra, Cygnus, Aquila, Sagittarius, Sagitta, Scorpius, Corona Australis and Ophiuchus. I see Libra in my mind a bit differently than you do. In a previous video you explained that the brightest part of the Milky Way is like steam coming out of the teapot spout so I use that to orient myself.

The best way for me to find the Coathanger is to hop from Albireo. Thanks for the vid.

Found sagitta. But could not see the coat hanger. I'll try at a spot that has less light pollution. Thanks.

I also view it with my apo refractor with low power and my 12" dobsonian.

Just naked eye under dark skies but very easy in low powered optical kit and even under my Bortle 6 skies I can pick up the Coathanger with my tiny Zeiss Mini Quick 5x10 monocular.Out in more remote places camping it's pretty easy naked eye.

I love this asterism because it was my first introduction into telescopic asterisms. I didn't even know that was a thing until very recently. That's what I love about astronomy...there is always something new to learn!
