A busy month for Deep Sky Section;\u00a0 7 members sent in their drawings and images, 28 observations in total.<\/p>\n

David Davies<\/strong>, using an ED 120 refractor and a QSI 583 camera plus a Lodestar off axis guider to capture deep images of M27, the “dumbbell” planetary nebula in Vulpecula and NGC 7023 in Cepheus; the “Iris” reflection nebula, near to T Cephei, (a Mira-type variable star).<\/p>\n

Ian Papworth<\/strong> sent in 10 images this month, taken via a Celestron Nexstar 6SE f6.3 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and a ZWO ASI 120MM camera.\u00a0 The first four are globular clusters;\u00a0 M2 (Aquarius), M15 (Pegasus), M92 (Hercules) and M56 (Lyra).<\/p>\n
