Minas Astronomy Group

Time: Friday, April 16, 8:30 p.m.  (“Cloud date”: 24 hours later)

Place: Grand Pre National Park, the old parking lot past the railway track.

There will be a not-too-bright crescent Moon in the vicinity of the Pleiades, Venus and Mercury are in the western twilight, Mars is high in the south near the Beehive, and Saturn with its rings nearly edge-on will be well up in the southeast. Star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies too! Dress warmly. Bring binoculars (and telescopes)!  And if it is cloudy, we will try for the next night.

The Blomidon Naturalists have been invited to join us.
