Each month we will publish 14 sky charts with accompanying object table and example image archive. The first 7 sky charts cover the first half of the month (centred on the 8th) and the remaining 7 sky charts cover the second half of the month (centred on the 21st). Each of the charts show the sky at 2 hourly intervals, from approximately 0400 UT to 1600 UT.
Every now and again something interesting happens in the world of astronomy. Often they require further observations for analysis. We often run specific themed observing days or activities to make these more relevant for teachers and students, but not everybody can take part in these for various reasons. The aim of this page is to inform you of which objects require observations so that you may do them yourselves.
Once you have downloaded the table of visible objects for the month, you must check on the Sky Charts if the objects you wish to observe, will be visible at the time of your session.

This page contains a number of useful utilities that may be of use in a number of activities, projects and observing programmes. Utilities include observation planners, sidereal clocks and calculators for twilight at different telescope sites.
