I cannot star hop worth a shit. I know the field of view of about 20 or so objects, and can find maybe a good dozen by rote, but I got the GOTO for a reason. The guy I was with, however, got the badge where he was able to document that he can find all 110 Messier objects by star hopping and is working on the Hershel 400 list. He's phenomenal. And to get the Sombrero, in the city, in a sub-optimal night? I was all "NO WAY" then 3-4 people got to see it.
