What to look out, and up, for in June.

Our tour of the highlights of this month’s skies begins with the planets on offer to observers and imagers:

• Jupiter
• Mars
• Saturn

Next up is the meteor showers and we have quite a few daytime showers that can be spotted in the pre-dawn sky as well as some more usual showers in June:

• Arietids
• Zeta Perseids
• June Lyrids
• June Bootids

Then we each take a deep sky pick from our list of favourites for this time of year:

• Ralph - M13 The Great Globular Cluster in Hercules
• Paul - M8 The Lagoon Nebula
• Jeni - M57 The Ring Nebula

And we finish this sky guide with June’s moon phases and planetary conjunctions.
