Spring Equinox
Thursday, March 20th, 2008Today (in the UK at least) marks the spring (vernal) equinox, with the Earth at zero tilt, and the Sun crossing the celestial equator at zero declination. Having purchased a Tal-1 last week, I managed to catch some very clear views of Saturn, above a fall moon last night…being the second time I’ve used this telescope, it was a very pleasing sight.
