Image collection based on the sky tour "Red Stars at night, stellar delight" featured in the Sep 2012 edition of Astronomy Now. 

As of the present date (Oct 2012), I have only imaged 2 out of the original 8 star objects listed in the Astronomy Now tour and I have therefore added in a few other red stars that I have imaged.

	1. Alpha Herculis - Star (not yet imaged)
	2. V Aquilae - Star (not yet imaged)
	3. Alpha Vulpeculae - Star (not yet imaged)
	4. T Lyrae - Carbon Star (not yet imaged)
	5. RS Cygni - Variable Star (not yet imaged)
	6. EV Lacertae - UV Type Variable Star
	7. Mu Cephei - Star (not yet imaged)
	8. S Cephei - Carbon Star (Mira type variable)
	9. U Her - Mira type variable
	10. Red Star Spectra
	11. Y CVn - Variable Star - Carbon Star
