February Night Sky

New moon tomorrow.  Our moon will rise and set with the sun which means dark skies for viewing heavenly bodies.

If you reside or are traveling somewhere in the southern hemisphere there is a minor meteor shower for the month of February.  The Alpha Centaurids are active from January 28 to February 21 every year.  It peak is usually around February 8 producing up to six shooting stars per hour.  If you're stuck north of the equator like me - tough luck.

Fingers-crossed for clear conditions.
