We will enjoy and share a great Jupiter for our park visitors, along with other nice fall celestial targets.

I am uncertain where exactly in the park I will set up, as automobile access is limited, but will certainly set-up telescopes within the area highlighted above.

Look for our red lights...can't miss it.

UPDATE:

The Skinnner Park Star Gazing session is a GO....(pending weather conditions.) for Monday, the 17th at 7pm.

Sorry Kids....

Tonight's Skinner Park Session is - CANCELLED

Thick clouds have kept our scopes packed away unfortunately.

We are hoping for a Tuesday, the 18th or Wednesday the 19th of December for the re-schedule of the event....but a large low pressure mass is heading our way. Not looking too good.

If we cannot do this session this week...then we will have to postpone it for early 2013...

Keep monitoring this thread for updates and confirmations.
