An international society of amateur and professional astronomers specialising in the observation of double stars and 'deep sky' objects founded in 1967. Membership is open to anyone who shares the interests of the Society.

Picture of the Month: Ced 111 in Chamaeleon

More nebulous goodness this March, and this image is packed with it in a variety of different astronomical forms.

Galaxy of the Month: IC 2184 in Camelopardalis

A galactic collision that's caused plenty of confusion from Owen this month. A tough challenge for the large scope. Can you split them?

Object of the Season: Planetary Nebula NGC 6781 in Aquila

Wolfgang Steinicke would appreciate your observations of NGC 6781 for his Object of the Season column in the Deep-Sky Observer.

Double Stars of the Month: STTA 123 and HJ 4104

A wide pair in Draco and something much tighter for southern observers in Vela. Plenty of colours to discuss in both multiples from Bob this March.
