Celso -
The Webb Society, a world-wide organization head-quartered in England,
puts out a number of good deep-sky publications, such as their
"Quarterly Journal", "The Deep-Sky Observer" and "Observing Section
Reports". See their web site at
http://www.webbsociety.org/wperiodical.html.
Likewise the (U.S.) National Deep Sky Observer's Society has for some 20
years now put out a fairly good publication called "Betelgeuse". The
NDSOS serves primarily North American observers, but their provide
information that is obviously useful world-wide as well. They are also
affliated with a magazine on general observing called "The Practical
Observer". The NDSOS web site is at

I recommend all these publications highly.
