Greetings all Hermanus Star Gazers
Herewith your very own copy of the Sky 4 the Month of August.
I have selected Hercules as our constellation of the month. This is a very large constellation but without many bright stars. It has, however, many, many galaxies, but all to dim for us to observe. You are invited to click on the website below to see what the galaxies in Abell 2151 in the Hercules Cluster really looks like.
