Description
At the Ashcroft Observatory, we will be observing a number of highlights in the Milky Way including the Lagoon Nebula and the Double cluster. The two largest planets of the Solar System, Jupiter and Saturn, will also be up, and Saturn’s ring will dazzle in the eyepiece. Additionally, the Moon will be in an attractive crescent phase that will be very favorable for viewing.
