Sekas meetings resume at Alkham Village Hall on our usual schedule of 2nd Saturdays of the month.
Everyones favourite constellation, Orion contains some of the Northern Hemispheres greatest imaging targets including the Great Orion Nebula M42 and The Horsehead Nebula Barnard 33. Orion rises by 9pm in early November and is well placed by midnight. Now see what you can do with the ample waves of photons coming into your telescopes, P.s. remember you don’t have use a camera, as you are still allowed to use an eyepiece, as your retina is the ultimate imaging device. Here is an image I took last year to wet your appetites.
