15 students and alumni joined our second stargazing activity of the week. We arrived early to catch the blazing crescent-shaped Venus at its brightest in 40 years (-4.9 magnitude) and an equally crescent-shaped moon. Apart from the objects observed last Friday, we also explored some less well known treasures in the sky. We sampled the satellite galaxy of M31 Andromeda Galaxy (M32 Elliptical Galaxy), Eta Cassiopeiae (a nearby double star with a brownish red secondary), NGC 663 (a.k.a. Caldwell 12, open cluster with lots of 'star pairs'), M34 (open cluster next to the most famous variable star Algol) and Iota Orionis (a triple star with subtle colour contrast), finishing with Jupiter (and its 4 Galilean satellites) and an attempt at Abell 12. However, the most memorable object was undoubtedly M103, the open cluster with an interesting shape which made our imagination fly. It proved once again that stargazing is done not just by the eye, but by the brain.
