Deep-Sky Forum Object of the Week (by Constellation)

by DSF OOTW team; Wouter van Reeven; Akarsh Simha.


Every Sunday, one of several experienced visual deep-sky observers posts an “Object of the Week” on the Deep Sky Forum. This page is a full listing of all OOTW posts, organized by constellation. The list was compiled by Wouter van Reeven and imported into Adventures in Deep Space by Akarsh Simha. DeepSkyForum is run by Dragan Nikin and Jimi Lowrey.
