The UIS  Barber  Observatory has  taken  advantage  of  the  clear  weather  patterns  and  our  new  wide-field  U42  camera  to  follow  the  brightness  variations  of  suspected supernova  impostors in  distant  galaxies.</div>

The  cloudy  weather  lately  has  been  bad  news  for Friday  Night  Star  Parties but  it  has  given  us  some  time  to  reduce  a  back-log  of  pretty  pictures  the UIS  Barber  Observatory took  over  the  summer.  Below  is  an  image  of  the Eagle  Nebula  (M16)  in  the  constellation  Serpens.</div>
