Sadly due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic we've taken the decision to cancel our meeting planned for Saturday the 13th of June 2020 in Cambridge. We plan to be back in June 2021, but it's too early to set a date yet, so watch this space...
The Webb Deep-Sky Society has a wide range of publications on offer.
You can grab a free PDF copy of Faith Jordan's 'An Introduction to Deep-Sky Observing' from amongst our free publications.
With kind permission of Kent Wallace, we can now offer our own reprint of his titanic work Visual Observations of Planetary Nebulae. Kent sold out of his own print run some time ago, so don't wait too long.
Issue 184 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.
Perhaps you'd like to join our groups.io mailing group? Access is limited to members, but you're all welcome.
This month a classic target for imaging in the late summer, and surprisingly a pair of nebulae that I've never featured before…
It's off to Hercules this month where Owen's found a group of galaxies that will provide a stern test for observers with large telescopes. How many can you identify?
Patrick's back with two more objects for you to observe. Both are in Delphinus and bright enough for small scopes, whilst offering something for those more aperture.
Bob's double stars this month are relatively close neighbours in Aquila. Both are bright but one pair is very uneven and the other close. So a challenge this August.
Wolfgang Steinicke would appreciate your observations of planetary nebula CRT 2688 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.
