ImageJuly and August updates ...

The bright twilight nights are slowly giving way to darker skies and the prospect of revealing a little-known nightly sight.
Away from the towns and cities, the Milky Way will soon be glimpsed meandering through the constellation of Cygnus. This river of stars was worshipped by the ancient Egyptians ... Nowadays, especially when we approach the end of Summer, it's astronomers that turn their gaze skyward and praise the sight of a myriad of stars arching high above them.

The following sections have been updated: This month's night sky and observations.
