[AZ-Observing] Re: Mars Party

SAC member Steve Dodder will be representing SAC at the observing session we
still plan to hold tonight at the Arizona Science Center, weather
permitting.  If anyone else would like to come and join us, please do!
We've been receiving phone calls for a couple of days now; it could be very
busy!

It's from 7:30-9:30 tonight (Wednesday); I know that Mars won't be very high
in the sky, but most people just want to see it through a telescope and
don't mind if the features aren't all visible.

I keep checking, but have not seen any announcement of a club Mars 
observing outing this weekend. In case you have not been following 
the news, there is a GREAT interest in astronomy right now and 
reports are that telescopes are going like hot cakes with many stores 
out of stock. this would certainly be a great time to get the public 
to realize SAC exists. Are there any plans? This weekend and the 
following couple would be great for setting something up for the 
public. No need for dark skies so any place like perhaps south 
mountain. Would be great.

This is a fantastic time and opportunity to promote SAC and astronomy.

Jeff
