Good, the SAC Public Star Party is May 10 at Thunderbird Park. If it's
cloudy one night we can go to the other one, or even go to both if it's
going to be a clear weekend.

> On May 9th, a group from Luke Air Force Base is hosting their third
annual public star party at Estrella Mountain Ranch Elementary School
near Goodyear about 30 miles SW of Phoenix (roughly 180th Avenue &
Elliot Rd.).
>
> A little about the site:  We're setting up on an open grass field next
to the elementary school.  The school has agreed to cut the lighting at
the school for the evening, and limiting magnitude in the area is
generally around 5.  A first quarter moon sets at 1:42am that evening.

> Being that I only live a mile from there, I've volunteered to help out
during the party.  John Silvia asked me to spread the word about the
party, that they're looking for additional scopes to come out and setup
for public viewing.  Anybody interested in participating can contact him
at John.Silvia@xxxxxxxxxxxx
