Winter Nebulae
The winter sky offers a rich selection of bright and easily observable nebulae, often highlighted by the crisp, clear nights that characterize the season. This time of year brings some of the most famous nebulae into view, making it ideal for beginners and seasoned astronomers alike. Winter nebulae are often large and luminous, creating stunning sights even through small telescopes or binoculars.Sky Map
