Celebrate International Dark Sky Week
Celebrate International Dark Sky Week and join members from the San Diego Astronomy Association at the West Sycamore Staging Area to view the nighttime sky through telescopes. Almost no moon (less than 15) Jupiter is still up but the Orion Nebula is setting early over the ocean and bright Poway. Another good night to chase galaxies, although the Great Galaxy in Andromeda has set.. Leo is high in the sky with the famous Leo Trio of galaxies.
