Virtual Star Party - June 1, 2014: Paul brings his "A" game!

Host: Scott Lewis Guests: Michael Phillips, Bill McLaughlin, Paul Stewart

Fraser's out celebrating his dad's birthday, so Scott's helming tonight! (Happy Belated Birthday Mr. Cain!)

We've had a lot of cancellations and bad weather, so we're going to make some changes to our schedule. We're moving the VSP to once a month, and we'll also add in astrophotos from observers, so that we won't be as subject to the weather. We'll also set up some special guests and events. Our goal is to never have to cancel again - so send us your astrophotos!

Tonight's views and photos: Saturn and 5 of its moons Mercury Jupiter Moon International Space Station flyby (great catch!) Mars Night Sky from Fraser photo Night Sky from Australia photo Swan Nebula Saturn with 6 moons photo Black Eye Nebula Timelapse sky views

We hold the Virtual Star Party every Sunday night, barring bad weather, as a live Google+ Hangout on Air. We begin the show when it gets dark on the West Coast. If you want to get a notification, make sure you circle the
