Under Construction

The Deep-Sky Corner was created between 1996 and 2001 as a leisure project by a group of amateur astronomers. Virtual time travel: 1999, 2001, 2002. After that, the Deep-Sky Corner remained dormant on astro!nfo until September 2020, when that website was discontinued. Now, it has risen again on its own domain and is continuously updated.

In the current monthly overviews, all constellations or objects are now displayed which are above the horizon from there in the middle of the month from the end to the beginning of astronomical twilight. Maybe there are still some bugs.
