This is still badly written... I tried to reword, but someone who knows the game really needs to work on this. ( Booyabazooka 23:33, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC))
It's good. But shouldn't deep sky objects be those outside the Milky Way? -- Stillkent 05:14, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Deep sky → Deep sky object — - This page appears to have been improperly named in the first place. WP:Naming Conventions: "Use nouns: Titles should be nouns or noun phrases. Adjective and verb forms ... should redirect to articles titled with the corresponding noun." -- GHJmover ( talk) 16:49, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
"Since surface brightness is invariant to distance" - could use some explanation. I think what this means is that an object that's further away covers less sky and also appears dimmer, so these effects cancel out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.208.164 ( talk) 04:11, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

It seems that both spellings are good, "deep-sky object" and "deep sky object", but they are interechangeably used within the article, which is not quite along the guidelines of Wikipedia. We should adopt only ONE spelling, and mention the variant in the intro, and stick to the first one for the rest of the article.
However, I do not make the change myself, as I wonder whether or not we should hyphenate. English is not my first language, and while I'm pretty good in Shakespeare's language, I would not pretend to be even near perfect... My understanding of English grammar is that it should be hyphenated, but maybe I am wrong...

Wikipedia's policy on article titles.Hi there. I was told to ask on this page how the community feels about changing the redirect for Deep sky from this page to Deep Sky, the article that I created yesterday for the documentary. How do we feel? Osh33m ( talk) 16:39, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
