We are told that the word ‘planet’ is Greek in origin and translates into ‘wanderer.’ This month a better term to describe our planetary parade might just be groupies or congregation. All of the action seems to be happening in the western sky, just above the horizon and about an hour after sunset.

June Skies
June will be a busy month for sky watchers. A couple of events will require binoculars or a small telescope but will be worth the effort. The first is the appearance of Comet McNaught. This object will be visible during the early morning hours beginning around June 1st as it makes its way through the constellations [...]

May Skies
Venus will continue to dominate the early evening sky. Shining at magnitude -3.9 it will maintain about the same position throughout the month. Look for it just after sunset above the west-northwest horizon.

We are currently beta testing major changes to the AP 206 control software: we are changing from Astronomy Studio to ACP. For more information about ACP, please visit this page:
