Hello Friend,

This is the weekend to hope for clear skies.

(Erase visions of beach parties, and excessive drinking of alcohol  as seen on tv ,unless
  you happen to be somewhere warm, down south of course).

Why?

So you can pretend it's a workday and get up real early  (like 5am) to check out the
really cool parade of planets happening this weekend.

If you want to know more, the CBC has a good article about it right here

     Now , Mercury is a tricky planet to see at the best of times,
but if you have a clear horizon you have a much better chance of seeing it.

If you miss this one, the next occurence is in 2018.

And now a word from our sponsor:

       Did you see the new Mallincam Micro Kit  advertised in SkyNews 
magazine this month?

Fantastic for live viewing on the included monitor, and all at a low, low price for this
kind of technology.

Works with all makes and models of telescopes and everything you need
is included.

Best news, is we have them in stock right now.

Enjoy your weekend!

PS Clear Skies.
