About LinkBacksI am so sorry to be late with this report, as health issues have reduced my activity on the forum lately. Here is the latest list from Space.com. It provides information on several interesting observing opportunities throughout the month of May, with 25 pages of interesting pictures, maps, and information for this month. Find it here, at:
Best Night Sky Events of May 2017 (Stargazing Maps)
I hope this helps in your observing plans and that it is useful to you. Thanks for looking, and the best of wishes for many clear skies.
