Here are some of the things to see in June:
- 10 pm, northwest sky – Ursa Major with the Big Dipper asterism and a number of bright deep sky objects, among them the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101), the Cigar Galaxy (M82) and the Owl Nebula (M97)
- 10 pm, southern sky – Boötes constellation, with Arcturus, the brightest northern star and fourth brightest star in the sky, visible along the imaginary line extended from the stars of the Big Dipper‘s handle, and the famous contrasting double star Izar, Epsilon Boötis
- 10 pm southeast sky – Corona Borealis, easy to recognize for its relatively bright semi-circle of stars between Boötes and Hercules
- 10 pm, eastern sky – Hercules constellation with the prominent Keystone asterism and the bright Hercules Star Cluster (Messier 13) and Messier 92, another bright globular cluster, slightly smaller and fainter than M13
- 10 pm, northeast sky – Draco constellation, visible curling around Ursa Minor and the Little Dipper, and containing the Cat’s Eye Nebula (NGC 6543), a famous planetary nebula, and the Spindle Galaxy (M102), an edge-on lenticular or spiral galaxy
