In mid-July and heading into August, the summer skies still offer a lot in the way of deep-sky objects for astronomers who enjoy observing the night sky in the late evening and into the small hours. As well as the nebulae of summer, the star clusters of Cygnus, Hercules and low-on-the-horizon Ophiuchus and the galaxies of Ursa Major are excellent pickings for observers with binoculars or telescopes. August in particular is an ideal time to observe our nearest spiral galaxy, Andromeda. Star clusters NGC 884, NGC 7686 and NGC 1502, of Perseus, Andromeda and Camelopardalis respectively, are good targets in the early hours of the morning.
