New Moon

New Moon takes place at 6:51 U.T. May 3, or 2:51 AM Tuesday, May 3, E.D.T. Another long-lasting batch of rainy weather is moving through our area. If skies clear out Thursday evening an extremely thin Crescent Moon should be visible in the west at dusk. It will be much easier to see by Friday or Saturday. I'm working on making sure my charts are up to date to try to get some observing in soon.
