Vulpecula's NGC 6830 is an older cluster with about 50 dim stars and is located around 5,300 light years away. Though many of its residents are dim, the cluster contains a few brighter stars making this a good target for backyard astronomers with a small to middle size telescope.
HD 919: A Red Variable Double Star in Cepheus
HD 919, also known as HIP 1124 or STTA 1, is a variable double star in the constellation Cepheus that warrants a look due to its pretty red color contrasted against a white secondary star.
Struve 2883: A Pretty Contrasting Binary Star Cepheus
HD 210884, also known as HIP 109474 or STF 2883, is a double star in the constellation Cepheus. It's best viewed on autumn nights.
Messier 32 (NGC 221): Le Gentil—A Galaxy in our Universe Neighborhood
Messier 32 (M32, NGC 221), is a dwarf elliptical galaxy best viewed in the fall. It lies in the Andromeda constellation. The galaxy appears as a blotch of light from the light-polluted suburbs.
Kappa Delphini: A Deceiving Triple Star System
Discover Kappa Delphini in Delphinus—a fascinating triple star system with a bright primary and companions, perfect for summer backyard stargazing.
NGC 7331 (Caldwell 30): The Milky Way’s Twin
NGC 7331, also known as Caldwell 30, is a non-barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Pegasus, best viewed during autumn. One can make out the distant cousin as a smudge in smaller scopes.
NGC 7662: The Blue Snowball Nebula
NGC 7662, also known as the blue snowball nebula, is a bright planetary nebula in the andromeda constellation. It's a good target for the casual backyard observer with a small telescope as it breaks through the light pollution pretty well for a nebula.
Delta Cephei: Astronomy’s Royal Gem Fit for a King
The variable star Delta Cephei lies in the constellation Cepheus and is a one of the most important and historical stars in astronomy. Delta Cep makes the basis for all Cepheids, which Henrietta Leavitt discoveed that their luminosities are directly related to their periods of pulsation. This led to our being able to measure greater distances starting when Edwin Hubble uncovered the distance to the Andromeda Galaxy after finding a Cepheid in the galaxy.
