May : It’s still a good season for some galaxy work including M104 Sombrero and M83 Southern Pinwheel which are both smaller targets so more focal length and magnification helps. The Great Carina nebula region and all it’s neighbours are full of luminosity and interesting features before sunset but the Milky Way core is rising earlier now in the east with all the winter classics coming into view. The highlight for this month for East Australian and New Zealand customers will be the Full Lunar Eclipse on May 26th! This is a long, slow moving event so there is plenty of time for astrophotographers to settle in and take some great photos!
