Over the last 6 months there have been three reasonably bright supernovas on view for amateur astronomers, two in our own Milky Way galaxy, Nova Delphini & Nova Centauri which were easily visible to the naked eye, and one in the nearby galaxy Messier 82 which reached magnitude +10. Therefore In this month’s program we take a look at supernovae.

February | The Winter Constellations
This month we take a look at the winter constellations, along with the main deep sky objects now visible in small telescopes, and binoculars. We also learn something about the legends of the Stars. I would like to acknowledge the assistance of members of West Yorkshire Astronomical Society during the making of the program.
