January : The summer targets are in full force with Orion and it’s bevy of features swinging overhead earlier now, but not before the Pleiades comes overhead first which is best captured in natural colour broadband on a moonless night. If you have a good view south, the Large Magellanic Cloud is highest around 11pm which helps for those wanting to catch the Tarantula nebula within. The planets are smaller now but Mars can be caught over east with Uranus chasing it across the sky and both with be quite close to the moon on the 21st. For Carina fans, the great nebula complex is available in the wee hours of morning but should return to easier time slots in the coming months. See this ABC Article and ABC TV news report about the January sky featuring friend of the store, Dylan O’Donnell.
