3 December 2025: Wolfgang Steinicke has a new Object of the Season for you to observe
We held our 2026 Annual Meeting on Saturday the 20th of June 2026 at the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge.
It's all done for another year, and the planning for 2027 can begin. Thank you to all our speakers and everyone who turned up, we hope you enjoyed yourselves.
The Webb Deep-Sky Society has a wide range of publications on offer.
Mike Swan's excellent Atlas of Open Star Clusters is now available as a single spiral-bound volume. This has a few additions over his earlier volumes 1 and 2.
Owen has added a Volume 2 to his Galaxy of the Month book series. We have a special price for those that choose to buy both volumes.
Issue 196 of The Deep-Sky Observer (DSO) is now available.
You can now join the Webb Deep-Sky Society online using PayPal. Options include Paper and PDF versions of the Deep-Sky Observer journal, or PDF alone for a reduced price.
You can subscribe to our mailing list to receive emailed updates when a new issue is released.
I've been rather warm and distracted recently so I've chosen another professional image this month. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful image of a dark nebula, which is anything but dark in this case, with a touch of galactic interest.
Owen's left us with a group of galaxies that might be available to more modest telescopes, try it and see. For those with monsterous aperture, or EAA observers, he's also provided a serious challenge nearby.
Patrick has an observing challenge for you this month, a faint object amongst the stars of the Milky Way, but modest telescopes will do as this is more of a test of observing skill than aperture.
Bob's offerings are pair of contrasting colour in a region filled with double stars and then a wide, bright and surprisingly complex double further south. Both can be split with modest telescopes.
Wolfgang Steinicke would appreciate your observations of the galaxy Pair NGC 4567/68 in Virgo 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.
Some observations and images provided by amateur astronomers around the globe. We're happy to receive your images, sketches and observations of the deep-sky made in pursuit of your projects.
