While you will have to be quick to observe the galaxies in the constellation of Andromeda as they start to head towards the horizon, those found in Virgo and W Ursa Major are ideal for those with at least a small telescope. Fans of globular star clusters are in for a treat this month, as the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules (Messier 13), which shines at magnitude +5.9, and its +6.5-magnitude neighbour Messier 92 won’t set until around 05:00.
If you’re a fan of using binoculars, there are a variety of targets to be observed, such as the bright star system Capella in the constellation of Auriga, as well as double stars Mizar and Alcor in the handle of the Plough, or Big Dipper.
