Introduction

On my Vespera constellation pages I present objects that are located in the corresponding constellations. These pages are intended to help you see neighboring DSOs in context. In the case of several constellations, these lie next to each other so that the photos cover a coherent area of the sky.

This page shows DSO in the constellations of Hercules, Serpens Cauda, and Draco. More photos can be found on the DSO detail pages (click the corresponding link).

Note: Where possible, I selected photos on which several objects can be seen at the same time.
