From Sky & T's calendar: http://skytonight.com/observing/ataglance
===================== Friday, May 25 After sunset at this time of year, when the stars begin to come out in twilight Vega [white] is at the same height in the northeast as Capella [yellow] is in the northwest. These are the brightest stars in the May evening sky - along with Arcturus [orange colored] very high in the southeast. Saturday, May 26 With Bootes high in the evening sky, now's a fine time to check in on the semiregular red variable star V Bootis using big binoculars or a small scope. See the May Sky & Telescope, page 62. (May's S&T recommends colorful contrast doubles gam Boo, del Boo, mu Boo and eps Boo.) ===================== My lunar notes: On Friday, the terminator on a 9 day old Moon will be at W21 selenographic longitude, giving good views of a low level Sun rising over larger craters Copernicus, Tycho and and the "2001 Space Odyssey" crater - Clavius. Dark volcanic deposits of Sinus Aestum will be visible with 10 to 20 power binoculars. On Saturday, the terminator on a 10 day old Moon will be at W33 selenographic longitude, giving good views of a low level Sun rising over Sinus Iridum and Promontorium Laplace. Larger telescopes (8-10") will have a good view of volcanic dome Kies Pi and smaller telescopes (6") of one of the longest fissures on the Moon (>300km) - Rima Hesiodus. - Kurt _______________________________________________ Sent via CSolutions - http://www.csolutions.net
