Join us for a stargazing event offering telescopic views
of the Moon, Saturn, star-clusters, and
various nightsky points of interest!
When: This Friday, JULY 3RD!
The sky will be dark enough to observe things (Moon) by ~8:30, but come at 8:00 if you're bringin' a scope, or wish to help folks set-up tables, desserts & stuff.
Where: The Reeds
1001 Bixby Road
Look for the ranch on the right as you approach the end-of-road left-turn onto Duncan. Their driveway & gates are about 100 ft. beyond an orange "turn" sign along the right shoulder. Once thru the gate, please park near the house or metal "barn"... the scopes & observing area will be around the metal barn & to the right. The Reeds have offered the use of an older wood barn nearby for refreshments & a place for seeking refuge from the chilly air (if any!)
Who: Grace family, friends, & guests
Kids, too- with appropriate supervision.
Desserts: If you wish
Bring a small dessert to share! That could include hot drinks in carafs like coffee or hot chocolate. Those handling optical gear prefer the less "sticky-gooey" varieties of these things, for obvious reasons. Please co-ordinate with Cheryl Reed at h:623-9454 or c:801-3178.
Questions: Please direct any questions pertaining to things astro, or for last-minute weather updates to Mike Badger at 636-1779.
Don't miss this great family event.
**Note: Feel free to bring layers of warm clothing, folding lawn chairs, blankets, binoculars, star charts, & low-intensity red-lite flashlights. Bright & white flashlights are discouraged around the scopes, but may be useful for parents in finding their way back to the car when needed. Bugs shouldn't be an issue, but some "Off" type spray or lotion may be helpful for some? Most areas are paved, no grass "lawns", so bring footwear & accessories suitable & comfortable for that environment.
