Clear skies for a Star Party

13 April 2011

We will have two great starry filled nights coming up and should be taken full advantage of.

I will set up the C11 around the Adler Planetarium grounds at 8:00 pm Wednesday, the 13th of April. Saturn and the Moon will be the highlights of the evening, but other targets will be on hand for enjoyment. I should be on site till 10:30 pm or so.

As shown above, I/we will be set up in a shaded area, as our primary site of last year off the parking lot has now been grossly illuminated by glaring street lamps.

If free or in the area, stop by and say hi for some early spring astronomy.

Tonight's astro gathering is scrubbed due to iffy weather conditions.

There is a clear break coming our way, but a large cloud mass right behind it, and not a good night for scopes.

Sorry, but we will organize another one soon.
