Join the Southern Cape Astronomy Club when they hold their montly stargazing evening near Pearly Beach this Saturday, 19th August from 19:00.

Targets for the evening will include the planets Jupiter and Saturn, as well as deepsky objects in the constellations Scorpius and Sagitarius.

Scopes will be turned to two of our nearest galaxies, the Large and Small Magellan Clouds with some of their nebulae and globular clusters. 

Everyone is welcome.
