A deep-sky object (DSO) is any astronomical object that is not an individual star or Solar System object (such as Sun, Moon, planet, comet, etc.). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The classification is used for the most part by amateur astronomers to denote visually observed faint naked eye and telescopic objects such as star clusters , nebulae and galaxies .
