Mars sails past the Beehive.
The trusty Red Vixen will be out and about on the nights of May 3rd, 4th and 5th, hopefully to witness Mars as he sails past Praesepe (the Beehive).
Praesepe is a wonderful star cluster, and a worthy view through any binoculars or low power telescope.
Beehive-Mars-Moon-Perfect
Add to that the wandering Mars, and it will make for a great visual alignment.
With any luck our little red Vixen refractor will be able to capture the whole celestial event.
Plus I should be able to grab some camera phone photos.
It will be an interesting few evenings.
Fingers crossed for some clear nights.
