2019 Week 16: (April 14-April 20)

There will be an incredible free public event this week that you are not going to want to miss!

Date	Event
April 19	Full Moon

The sky is quite free of significant events but that should not stop you from getting out under the stars and enjoying the setting of the Winter constellations and the reign of the Spring.  The Moon will be full on the 19th so get out your neutral density filters if you want to see all of the regions with your scope!

This is a good chance to start working on your Explore the Moon certificate as you'll be able to see all of the significant maria during the Full Moon phase.  A link to this program can be found below.
