Southern Constellation Grus from Our Dark Sky

by Kay McCallum

Enjoy southern sky objects from our dark sky site that are elusive from locations farther north or that suffer more urban sky glow.

The constellation Grus rises over the dark line of trees skirting the southern arc of our dark sky site in the fall.

Find the affable star Fomalhaut and look a little more south and west.

Log both Grus and Fomalhaut to kickoff the autumn leg of the Texas 45 program.

Designed for our dark sky site by past president Rene Gedaly, find  details at the links below:
