Update as of 10:15AM Nov. 18

The forecast for our viewing hours this evening is for cloudy skies, so unfortunately we have to cancel. We will try to arrange a viewing for sometime in December and will post to this blog once a date is determined.

————————————————————————————————————–

We will hold a public viewing on Wednesday, November 18, 6:00-8:00 PM. Anyone attending the event should meet in Memorial Hall room 215* and we will direct you up to the observatory when there is room for visitors. Information about how to find the observatory or parking can be found here.

In the first part of the viewing, we will probably try to observe the first quarter Moon before it gets too low in the sky to see through our telescope. So if you missed our Moon night, or you have young children who need to get home to bed, do come early on. Later in the viewing session, we will point the telescope at some other interesting objects.

This event, as always, is subject to the weather. If it has to be cancelled, notice will given on this blog as well as through our other communication means.

* Although we normally meet in room 417, it is already in use during the viewing time, so we have switched to a different meeting room.
