This month, you will have opportunities to view the Great Orion Nebula, Herschel’s Garnet Star, the double cluster, the Andromeda galaxy and many more with the aid of 8 inch and 12 inch telescopes. We will star-hop through the night sky and the stories that have been told through constellations from centuries ago.
