Picture of the Month: Van den Bergh 152 in Cepheus
A rich and colourful view of a piece of one of my favourite constellations this month. A larger scope might reveal something of these nebulae, but this isn't really a field for visual observers.
Galaxy of the Month: NGC 1161 in Perseus
Owen brings you a pair of relatively bright and easy to observe galaxies this month, even in modest telescopes. Easily observed they might be, but perhaps somewhat overlooked?
Nebula or Cluster of the Month: NGC 637 in Cassiopeia
Accessible to almost any instrument, Patrick's choice for October is an easily observed object for northern observers. Well worth a look as you cruise the open clusters of Cassiopeia.
Double Stars of the Month: BU 997 and LAL 192
No less than four pairs of stars this month from Bob in Andromeda and Sculptor. All should be divisible in modest telescopes, and there's plenty of colour in the southern pairs.
Object of the Season: Emission Nebula NGC 1499 in Perseus
Wolfgang Steinicke would appreciate your observations of NGC 1499 in Perseus for his Object of the Season column in the Deep-Sky Observer.
