The Sentinel-Schwaar Star Gaze is a chance for astronomers to meet at an

Arizona dark sky site.  It is sponsored by the Deep Sky Group of the =
Saguaro Astronomy Club in memory of Pierre Schwaar.  There is no =
registration and no fee to attend, just show up and enjoy the night sky.
=
 In the past, folks have arrived on Friday, for two nights of observing.
=
 There are no facilities at the site, it is just a large flat area in =
the middle of the desert southwest.  It gets both hot and cold, =
depending on the whim of the weather, so bring cool water and warm =
clothes.  Please be courteous about white light, many observers and =
photographers are going after very dim objects.

To get to the site, drive to Gila Bend, AZ. and get on the I-8 freeway =
going west toward Yuma.  The Sentinel exit is #87, about 30 miles west =
from Gila Bend.  Take the exit and go south, under the freeway and =
across the railroad tracks.  Go straight south on the dirt road and =
drive 2 miles until you see a large, flat area of the desert to your =
left, white rocks mark the site.  It is before a cattle guard.  YOU ARE

THERE!
