"Shallow Sky" encompasses the solar system: observation of
our moon, the planets and their moons, comets, asteroids, and the sun.
The term was invented by <a href="http://www.timocharis.com">David North</a>
as a pun on the "Deep Sky" term long used by observers of galaxies,
nebulae and other distant targets.

This tends to involve a lot of
