Wednesday, August 31st at Great Festival Park, Weather Dependent
Join us on the lawn outside the Clubhouse for an interesting evening
searching the heavens. Naturally, weather conditions will dictate the
experience. Many apps can be downloaded to tablets or smartphones
such as Skyview (Free). Chris Maher and his team will bring several
large telescopes, including a 10” Dobsonian which is a very large tube
that basically sits on a ground mount and an easy way for kids to view.
Anyone wishing to bring observing items are encouraged as well.
Chris can also used discuss the many options of instruments as well as
the sky/ universe to explore. Recommended to bring folding chairs/
blankets and flashlights will be useful if anyone has one with a red lens
(will help to keep it as dark as possible). For more information please
contact Loui Padgett at 770-262-6384.
