Binocular Sky Newsletter, April 2018

[BinocularSky]

Your essential Bank Holiday reading (aka the April 2018 Binocular Sky Newsletter) is ready. As well as the usual overview of DSOs, variable and double stars, this month we have:

  *  Horizon Milky Way = culminating galaxies and globulars
  *  A couple of Mira variables near maximum
  *  The Moon just about co-operates with a quirky meteor shower

So, if the sky is clear, grab your binocs (or small telescope) and use this guide to enjoy, and share with others, what the night sky freely offers us this month.

To get your (free!) copy, or to subscribe (also free) and receive it monthly, please go to http://binocularsky.com and click on the 'Newsletter' tab.

Brilliant, as usual. Thank you. Love the outreach project .... do you have to travel very far for that? Congratulations for the great news regarding equipment...

Thanks, @Beulah The outreach will be mostly local, (would have had a couple of sessions with Yr 5s last week, had the sky been clear) but I'll be going wherever I'm called, within reason. :-)  The idea for getting a batch of outreach binos came out of a discussion with Sarah at Solarsphere, so that will definitely be a venue.
