The Davin Observatory
Our Dark Sky Observing location is one of the key benefits of membership in the Regina RASC.
The Davin Observing Site is located on the North side of the small community of Davin Saskatchewan and well placed East of the ancient shoreline which acts as a natural light pollution barrier for Regina.
Directions To Davin click image below, this will open google maps interface in a new window
Astronomical Observing & Imaging take place within the large walled structure which serves to keep both wind and lights out. Picnic tables and cement pads add modest comforts for a night under the stars but improvements to the facility are underway.
David Berrie, when not tossing horse shoes, is the Davin Observing Site director.

2010 March Skies
March begins with the Moon just past full phase, joining Saturn in the sky all through the night. On March 17, Venus shares the evening twilight with a very new Moon, the next night the Moon will be above bright Venus and perhaps easier to detect; on the 20th the Pleiades (Seven Sisters) is within one degree of the Moon; by the 23rd, Luna shares the sky with the star cluster M35. The next full Moon is on March 30.

I am very excited to announce that we will have a special Guest conference call Speaker for our March 5th Meeting!
Many of us observered the Great Comet Machholz glide past the Pleiades a few years ago but many may not realize that he is also considered to be one of the inventors of the Messier Marathon, which is a race to observe all the M-Objects in a single night.
