!!! seems it only displays well the 2nd time? ugh.

 

Summer skies bring the large arc of the Milky Way into prominence. Join Alan Sheiness and Scott Mallory on a discovery tour of the beautiful nebulae and star clusters that are visible amongst the summer constellations. Learn how to spot the big landmarks in the summer sky.

Bring a folding chair and binoculars if you have them. Ordinary flashlights (white lights) are highly discouraged on the far side of the pond. Use red lens caps or red light flashlights. Come any time during the session if you park in the lot a short way from the site and walk in. If you have equipment to set up and want to drive to the site, arrive before dark and plan to stay the whole time so you don’t disturb others when you leave. Leave no trace. Take out what you bring in. No smoking or alcohol consumption.

Reservations required. scott.mallory@gmail.com. Details will be sent with registration.
