Blue Horsehead Nebula and Milky Way
We're getting some good stargazing weather in Pearly.
With the Moon just a few days after new, join us for an evening of stargazing outside the Herbarium at Pearly Beach.
Guests have been treated to some brilliant winter skies over the last few weeks. With the Milky Way at the zenith, the region between Scorpius and Sagittarius has some gorgeous deep sky objects to point the 12” to. And with Spring upon us, Aquila and Lyra can be seen in the north east with some bright planetary nebulae visible. Contact me for further information on stargazing evenings for you or your guests.
Southern Cape Astronomy Club meets at least once a month for stargazing or observation evenings close to new Moon or during astronomical related events. The well-established club is based in Pearly Beach just outside Gansbaai.

Having much fun with the S30 Pro, but these early mornings are killing me, especially when there's a morning trail.
