October : All “the good stuff” is either too low west or east in the early evening for a good imaging session as the winter targets set earlier now and the summer targets get up to the zenith at 4:30am which usually leaves our old faithful circumpolar targets like the Small Magellanic Cloud for ideal imaging this month. The Helix Nebula is still nice and high however. Comet Africano is getting dimmer but still worth photographing early in the month. Mercury is visible after sunset and Jupiter will appear close to the moon on the 4th and 31st.
