Update as of 6:30pm July 20th:\u00a0<\/strong>We’ve got clouds and the Charlottetown clear sky clock <\/a>has us as either “too cloudy to forecast” to “poor” plus the added risk of a thunderstorm, means we’ll be canceling tonight’s session. There’s the possibility of an extra session before the August 17th one, and if it goes ahead, I’ll post more information. \u00a0Better safe than electrocuted.<\/p>\n

Update as of July 17th: \u00a0<\/strong>New telescope up and running, but we’re all still getting used to it so please be patient if there’s any issues. Note that on Saturday we’ll be checking out the moon and trying to get a good glimpse of Saturn. \u00a0Saturn may dip below the level our telescope can focus on later in the evening, so if you want to see it — the tilt of the rings is beautiful right now — earlier but full dark would be best.<\/p>\n

Weather forecast for Saturday as of July 17th is not good (thunderstorms). \u00a0Any cancellation notice will be put up as soon as possible (latest 6:30pm on Saturday).<\/p>\n

*****************************************************************************************************<\/p>\n

Our next regularly scheduled public viewing will be on Saturday July 20th, from 9:30-11pm. Any changes, news updates or cancellation due to inclement weather will occur within this post.<\/p>\n

The moon will be 88% full (close to full, full moon July 22-24).<\/p>\n
