Or select it on the map:
This Earth map fragment is intended to illustrate celestial motion across the sky, emphasizing both bearing and elevational perspectives. The map's center point corresponds to the transit, showcasing celestial objects at their highest point, while elevation gradually decreases towards the map edges. This dynamic representation offers insights into the changing positions of celestial bodies with a focus on their bearing and elevational trajectories.

Autumn Nebulae

Autumn brings a mix of well-known and less-visited nebulae that bridge the transition from summer’s richness to winter’s brilliance. This season is perfect for those looking to observe nebulae under darker skies, as longer nights provide excellent conditions. Autumn nebulae may not be as numerous as in other seasons, but they offer unique structures and fascinating shapes to discover.
