The Night Sky October 2024 | Orionids, Numerous Nebulae & More To Photograph This Month

Welcome to The Night Sky series, a curated list of Deep Sky Objects, planets and notable events that are happening in the Northern Hemisphere night sky this month.

This list is broken down by various popular focal lengths complete with equivalent sensor sizes. No matter your gear, I guarantee you'll find something suitable to photo!

These are all based against a full frame Canon 5D mk3 camera when it comes to the equivalent sizings.

Planets are judged whether they rise above 20 degrees altitude for long enough to be worthwhile, this ensures they get out of the most mucky part of the atmosphere for better seeing conditions.

Feel free to join the conversation in the comments below, what are you imaging this month and what takes your fancy?
