Picture of the Month: NGC 1491 and Outters 1 in Perseus
A wide field of more star formation and a favourite imaging target that's yielded an amateur discovery. Lots of detail and an object that can be visually observed too from me this month.
Galaxy of the Month: NGC 1129 in Perseus
Owen is still exploring Perseus with this challenging group of galaxies. Unsurprisingly, the faintness of most of its members seems to have caused some cataloguing confusion.
Nebula or Cluster of the Month: Stock 8 and IC 417 in Auriga
Patrick brings you an young open cluster from one of the "minor" catalogues which comes with its own emission nebula. He has some tips for observing this tricky group of stars, and just maybe the nebula too.
Double Stars of the Month: STF 430 and 41 Eri
A colourful and wide triplet in Taurus from Bob to go with a mission impossible in Eridanus, although he's provided some alternatives more amenable to modest scopes too.
Object of the Season: NGC 4038 and NGC 4039
Wolfgang Steinicke would appreciate your observations of the NGC 4038 and NGC 4039 galaxy pair in Corvus for his Object of the Season column in the Deep-Sky Observer.
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
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.
Observations
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.
