Welcome to Impressions of the Deep Sky. The purpose of this site is not only showcase the excellent work of Jere Kahanpää but also encourage others to share their deep sky observations and experiences. In addition, Jere's images are an excellent resource for target verification and planning. Often, photos do not represent the eyepiece view and catalog stats have difficulty describing the object. These images can help greatly by showing the object as it appears visually through small telescopes.

Look for this symbol to invert the display of drawings to white on black (or back to normal). The images take on a slightly different appearance, often times becoming extremely realistic.
