Highlights
Careful planning for night sky observing is a must this time of year. June weather might be improving but the nights are getting shorter.
Best Dark Weekend: New moon occurs early this month and on a Wednesday thus the best weekend for evening observing is that last weekend of the month, after the last quarter moon. Strange but true.
Saturn is Best Evening Planet: It's getting further away and thus smaller each month. Try to observe the large storm occurring in its northern hemisphere. It causes a distinct line parallel to the rings.
Mercury Appears Later in June:The speedy one makes a brief evening appearance during the last week of the month.
Get out there! There's no time like summer for observing!
