What to look out, and up, for in November.

Ralph, Paul & Jen pick their highlights for this month’s skies; starting with the solar system objects on offer to observers and imagers:

A last look at Saturn for 2017 in the early evening sky
A very impressive Jupiter/Venus conjunction on the 13th of November
The Taurid meteor showers peaking on the 5th and 21st November and the Leonids on the 18th November
Comet 2017 O1 ASASSN1 for binocular and telescope observers

Next up, we take a deep sky pick from our list of favourites for this time of year:

Ralph – Messier 42, the Orion Nebula in the constellation Orion
Jen - Messier 13, The Great Globular Cluster in Hercules
Paul – NCG 404, Mirach’s Ghost in the constellation Andromeda

And we finish this sky guide with November’s moon phases.
