Mid-March provides an excellent opportunity for deep-sky observers. With the new Moon occurring on March 15, the period between March 7 and March 18 will provide dark skies for those searching out faint telescopic targets.
On the evening of March 20, the Moon will be near the Pleiades star cluster. Seen high in the western sky once darkness arrives, the pairing will provide pleasing views through binoculars or a telescope at low power. |
