November : Orion region with all it’s gems (Running man, Rosette nearby) is rising earlier now though still in the morning. M42 is a great target for beginners due to it’s brightness – but deceptively difficult to do well as many more advanced astrophotographers will attest. Uranus is a worthwhile (albeit small) target to photograph while it’s close to opposition. A series of conjunctions occurs throughout the month with Saturn close to the moon on the 2nd, Venus and Jupiter & the Moon close on the 23rd and 24th, and Mars, Mercury & the Moon doing the same the night afterwards. The Large and small Magellanic Clouds (galaxies) are also visible in the South for imaging and are rich with small and large features like Tarantula nebula or the “Dragon Head” nebula for those with a bit more focal length.
