Universe Today
Cruddy winter weather kept most of our astronomers indoors, but a few spots opened up in the clouds this week - enough for three telescopes. We had great views of a recently full Moon, Jupiter, and several clusters, nebulae and galaxies, including Andromeda, the Blue Snowball, the Triangulum Galaxy, and more.
We were joined by a new astronomer this week, Russell Bateman, who kept us entertained with his fantastic hand guiding skills, keeping the Moon in view for the duration of the Hangout.
