We’ve got a pretty bright Moon, but that just means we’ve got another target for the Virtual Star Party.
Tonight we had beautiful views of the Moon from David Dickinson and Cory Schmitz, and then some deep sky objects from Gary Gonella and Cory. We saw Andromeda Galaxy, Bubble Nebula, Swan Nebula, Lagoon Nebula, Dumbbell Nebula. And some viewers shared their photographs, including some amazing images of the International Space Station.
Host: Fraser Cain
Astronomers: Cory Schmitz, Gary Gonella, David Dickinson
