I've a fantastic image of another region of intense star formation, much of it still to come. This is a region of the sky that's made for astrophotography, and Suzanne captured it from a very special place.
This month is going to be a difficult for many northern observers in any case. Nonetheless Owen has a stiff challenge for those with large telescopes which will offer some detail for the successful.
Patrick's back on track with the Milky Way moving into prime observing position, and he's picked a showpiece planetary for those with a medium aperture and perhaps an OIII filter.
A couple of unequal double stars from Bob this month. Both are well separated and accessible to smaller telecsopes, and for those in the South there's a bonus pairing that is more of a challenge.
Wolfgang Steinicke would appreciate your observations of planetary nebula NGC 6543 in Draco for his Object of the Season column in the Deep-Sky Observer.
Profusely illustrated, The Deep-Sky Observer is printed on art paper. Its magazine format encourages all amateurs to make a contribution to the Society's work.
Double Star Section Circulars (DSSC) feature the latest techniques and measurements from double star observers around the World. They are available as PDFs for free download.
