5 June Astrophotography Targets you can image this month!

[@greglight5808]

Thanks again. Never even heard of the cats paw till now.

[@RaysAstrophotography]

Complete agree with you on the Rho Ophiuchi !! Beautiful target

[@MountainFisher]

At 32 degrees I get a good view of C80 or Omega Centauri and I had my optics redone with 97% reflectivity and a refigure to near perfect. C80 cluster was visible to the naked eye at Bortle 2. It is now July 21 and it is low in the sky and will soon disappear until next May. It is even big in my binoculars.

[@joohyungpark9258]

Living in Tuncson, dry and clear sky till late july. Weather won't piss me off. I was hoping to see Omega centauri for so long. Gotta try this weekend. Thanks for the video!

[@pupperemeritus9189]

when you have both astronomical dusk and being able to see a couple southern as well as northern objects from the equator, what ruins my photos is the bortle class 9 xd and a lack of a tracker. hopefully due to covid 19 we start having blackouts at night.

[@ranjitgovindaraj]

I’m liking the new series 👍🏼 keep ‘me coming😀

[@sjgonline]

Hi Hunters! I’m glad you mentioned the blue horse head. I love that object. Funny how Scorpius has such a rich number of objects Clear skies

[@GalacticHunter]

Yes the blue horse head is sooo nice!

[@GarnettLeary]

I didn’t expect a cluster to be on either of your lists. That’s atypical but definitely cool. I think most folks trend towards nebula and it’s unfortunate that clusters don’t make it to many folks to-do list. That’s just my observation. Fun video. Clear skies.

[@GalacticHunter]

Thanks! We have plenty of nebulae for other months so we wanted to make sure we included some clusters here and there too :)

[@vishnu2118]

"What to image this month"... Me: Clouds! *Clear skies to all!

[@GalacticHunter]

Hahah sad but true :(

[@vishnu2118]

@@GalacticHunter the conditions here is very bad.. Monsoon :(.. Wish you clear skies though.. Waiting to see those awesome images :))

[@ranjitgovindaraj]

Vishnu yeah haven’t seen a clear sky in weeks and now it’s worse due to the monsoon. Hoping for clear skies 🌌 Got lucky on the 8th and was able to image M3 for a bit.

[@vishnu2118]

@@ranjitgovindaraj Awesome...M3 huh.nicee👌

[@cpuchip]

The cat's paw looks awesome, I'll have to try and pick it out this week!

[@GalacticHunter]

Hopefully it's high enough from your location!

[@yawansmith4573]

Wow this is awesome! Thank for the cool images

[@GalacticHunter]

Thanks!

[@GuybrushThriftweed]

I would have added M5 too :) I was impressed when I saw it for the first time this month. For me as beautiful as M13.

[@GalacticHunter]

We haven't imaged or observed M5 yet but now we're curious haha

[@AndrewThomas73]

Was all excited for the Ngc 6334 then checked at 51 degrees north its literally scrapes along the horizon.

[@GalacticHunter]

Yes that one we weren't sure to include but because we assume some of the viewers live in different latitudes we thought it would be good to have. For us in Vegas it's possible but would be difficult as well :/

[@kenn7915]

This is a great idea. Thank you.

[@samueldysart]

What do you consider a fast telescope? And what is considered a dark site?

[@humwhatever185]

I'd say f4 or lower, and bortle 4 or lower, but some people will tell you only f2 rasas are fast

[@Greg-lk6te]

Nice 🔭🔭🔭🔭🔭🔭

[@CVObservatory]

Awesome!!

[@brandonporter4227]

There are a few other globular clusters in the northern hemisphere that are larger and brighter than M13 including M4, M5 and M22. They are all larger and have a higher apparent magnitude. Why M13 is often touted as being the largest and the brightest, I honestly can't answer.

[@GalacticHunter]

Wow you are absolutely right! I'm speechless right now because we also always believed M13 was the brightest and largest in the northern hemisphere. Wow, we'll remember that, thank you!

[@mtbse789]

Liking the Cats Paw!

[@GalacticHunter]

So beautiful!

[@mikeries8549]

I bought a telescope bundle from high point... in early May. It's a month later and the bundle hasn't caught up to the telescope. It's still in china. So how about suggesting some August targets because I seriously doubt I'll get the rest of my equipment in time for July. I'm starting to doubt that I will ever get my telescope accessories that I paid in full for. Apparently "IN STOCK" is a lie at high point scientific..

[@GalacticHunter]

Oh that's a long wait :/ We'll have these guides for every month of the year so rest assured, you will know what to image :)

[@abood-2639]

Awesome video as usual 👍 I'm imaging untracked from a light pollution location with a DSLR, are any of these targets possible?

[@GalacticHunter]

Thank you! M13 would be a good one. There are a few more here: www.galactic-hunter.com/post/no-telescope-the-15-best-astrophotography-targets

[@abood-2639]

Thank you very much, I'll check it out. Thank you for providing us some calming content in this difficult time. Astronomy is a nice escape from all the madness happening on earth. All the best and clear skies :)

[@cliveroberts415]

Sadly no targets for me in June because it doesn't really go dark where I live, roll on late July

[@AstroPixUK]

Clive Roberts yep, I feel your pain......

[@GalacticHunter]

Awww yes that's sad :/

[@AstroPixUK]

Iris Nebula for me.

[@GalacticHunter]

Definitely a good one :) We selected that one for another month but it's perfect right now as well!

[@neilhankey2514]

Wow... for me all of these targets aren't visible, too low on the southern horizon.

[@StuartMorrisKing]

It's pronounced Omega Centauri not century

[@supernovagaming7544]

first!
