Stars of April have arrived, and skies are clear for a gaze this evening, Thursday the 16th.  Plan to meet by the White Barn on the Giacomini wetlands with a start time of 8:45. Entrance is through the gate at 3rd & C streets in Point Reyes Station.  Charts for the month are linked below if you’d like a preview of what’s in store. See you there!
