Overview

We are kicking off the 2024 observing season early this year. The forecast is for clear skies this weekend. I have secured the field at the Whiteriver early learning center for us.

This will be a members only event, not an outreach event. This is just club members looking at the night sky with their equipment.

This might be our last chance to see Orion, Pleiades, Jupiter, and comet 12P/Pons-Brooks. Sunset is around 7:30pm with observing starting around 8pm.

You might even try to tackle the Messier Marathon, note we do have a have a first quarter moon for most of the night so that will be a hinderance.
