to get the star trackers up the rosette nebula is here we'll be talking about that shortly we've also got the beautiful targets in orion pleiades and heidi's in taurus and praisepay the cluster in cancer as well it's a really beautiful region of the night sky make the most of it whilst you still can as the night goes on that crosses down towards the western horizon if i just swing the view around you'll notice this good opportunity for a milky way panorama if i just turn off the effect of the moonlight yep so facing south south west real nice opportunity for a good milky way panorama with the magellanic clouds underneath the arch the normal region of the milky way all the way through the southern summer circle just a really really nice opportunity in the east after midnight you'll find the milky way core rising in the east so those of you in the southern hemisphere you get a one month head start on milky way core season you get to see the call this month and then in the morning twilight facing east you'll find a trio of planets mars venus mercury venus shining incredibly bright at minus NUMBER_TOKEN mars at a more modest NUMBER_TOKEN and mercury the fast-moving messenger you'll see climbs higher and higher towards mars and venus and then on the NUMBER_TOKENth is when it's at its greatest western elongation so it's furthest it will be from the sun in the sky and then after that it sinks back down towards the sun and as it does so you'll notice saturn rising and taking its place also on the NUMBER_TOKENth really nice photographic opportunity here venus mars the moon mercury and saturn all clustered together in the eastern skies so really good photographic opportunity day later on the NUMBER_TOKENth the moon is a little bit lower so you may be able to catch that incredibly thin moon along with the the four planets as well this month's star tracker target is the bright rosette nebula in the constellation rhinoceros so for those of you in the northern hemisphere it will be crossing high in the south in the late evening skies and it's found right in the middle of the winter circle asterism nearly midway between battlegrounds of orion and procyon of canis minor for southern hemisphere observers it will be crossing high in the north in the evening skies it's a hNUMBER_TOKEN region located near one end of a giant molecular cloud there's a lot of hydrogen alpha light being emitted so it's a good target for astral modified cameras but having a modified camera is not essential the open star cluster ngc NUMBER_TOKEN in the center is made up of stars that have been formed from the nebulous matter this is my image here which i captured through a NUMBER_TOKEN millimeter lens on a full frame camera but i'll put a link to telescopius website in the description which has a lot of useful information and you can also simulate how big it will look for your camera and lens or telescope which is pretty awesome full moon this month is on the NUMBER_TOKENth and it is the snow moon to the native american tribes and that's because it's the month where snow is most likely to fall like yeah it's just as simple
