             Nationwide Moon Watches March 12  2008

 

                  

 

On March 12 Astronomy Ireland will be holding Moon Watches all over Ireland in the locations below all starting at 8pm.

The Moon will be right on top of the Pleiades!!!
 
It will be a 32% sunlit crescent high in the sky so superb detail should be visible in a telescope along the terminator.
 
Attached is a view showing a 5 degree field of view, similar to what should be seen in a pair of binoculars.
