As well as the usual overview of DSOs, variable and double stars, this month we have: * Mira is brightening * A lunar occultation of Aldebaran * Uranus, Neptune and Iris well-placed in the early evening So, if the sky is clear, grab your binocs (or small telescope) and head out to enjoy what nature has to offer us this month.
