(Cancelled) Friday Night Viewing and phone photography

Hello Everyone,

Over the last three nights the ABC has been running Stargazing Live and the weather in Melbourne has been pretty horrible. Friday night however, the skies are going to clear and we are going to have a chance to look at the skies above us.

So, what are we going to look at? Well, early on in the night we'll be able to see the Moon and Jupiter. Later on Saturn will pop up higher and even though Mars will rise a few hours later, it isn't likely to be visible above the tree line until after most of us are in bed asleep.

With the position of the moon I was thinking that it could be a good opportunity for people to do some high resolution moon photography with their phones.

We will also be able to look at some really interesting objects around the southern parts of the skies such as NGC 3372, various open clusters and the largest globular cluster in the skies!

Hoping you can make it down and view the skies with me.

Cheers,
Colin
