The Starry Skies of July
(Hover over the stars to find the constellations, click to find out more)

Warm July evenings are a treat as the Summer constellations of Sagittarius and Scorpius come into view. You are looking towards the heart of our galaxy through the stars of Sagittarius and the area is full of binocular objects. You can also follow an arm of the Milky Way down through Cygnus the Swan and Aquila the Eagle. High overhead is the faint upside-down figure of Hercules who is sandwiched between Lyra the Lyra and Corona Borealis, the Northern Crown.
