"The “deep sky” is what astronomers call the realm beyond our solar system"

Not really. Stars are not DSO's. They are faint sky objects that usually require light gathering or amplification to see, but not necessarily magnification. Star clusters, nebulas, and galaxies mostly. Nebulas are mostly seen along the galactic plane, and especially near the galactic core (which unfortunately for us is in the southern hemisphere). Galaxies, harder to spot with a small telescope or binoculars, are away from the galactic plane.

OK, Mr. Spoc.
