Rick;
AJ and I are planning to leave his house around 5 PM if you would like to join
in. We can chat on the CB radio and enjoy some COOL temperatures on the way up.
For those of you who are not SAC members, this is the Novice Group Meeting.
This Saturday night at Cherry Road, we will gather to set up telescopes and
give those folks who have questions about getting started in astronomy a chance
to get them answered. The main subject will be "Getting started in
astrophotography", but any questions you have are appropriate. If you are
interested, please drive up and join in.
The site is 70 miles north of Phoenix on I-17, take the Cherry Road exit, just
before you start to descend into the Verde Valley. Turn west (left) over the
freeway and go about 5 miles until you see a small green sign that says "Cherry
>". You will turn off the pavement to the south (left), please note that this
is the opposite of the arrow on the Cherry sign. Travel about half a mile on
the dirt road until you see an opening and a metal gate on the right, go thru
the gate and close it behind you. You are at the observing site, a large field
on the west side of the gate.
Please leave town early, we are planning a twilight Q+A session. Also, dress
warm, this site is at about 4500 feet altitude, so it will be quite cool by
10:00 PM.
Hope to see you there;
Steve Coe
