Observing podcast: Leonid meteor shower, Silver Coin Galaxy, and IC 1613
November 13-20, 2009, the Leonid meteor shower makes a great event for all observers, while the Silver Coin Galaxy and irregular galaxy IC 1613 provide nice targets for telescope owners.
Each week, Astronomy magazine Senior Editor Michael Bakich, a master at explaining how to observe, posts a podcast about three objects or events you can see in the sky.
In each episode, Michael highlights:
- One object you can see without any optical aid
- One object you can see with a small (4-inch) telescope
- One object you can see with at least an 8-inch telescope
Targets for November 13-20, 2009

Small telescope: Silver Coin Galaxy
8-inch or larger telescope: Irregular galaxy IC 1613
