The clouds are coming in, like most recent years, now that we're around Thanksgiving, but we're thinking ahead to warm and clear skies! Once again next year, there are three stargazes planned for 2011 at the West Chester Parks. We'll again be at Keener Park on Barrett Road in West Chester. Please reserve the three dates for public stargazes on your calendars. The dates are: Saturday, April 9 2011 (rain date April 16) Saturday, May 14 2011 (rain date May 21) Saturday, September 10 2011 (rain date September 17) All of these dates are at first quarter to full moon or pretty close to either. Please make a note of these dates and/or save this message! We've done these stargazes for several years now and they've been very well attended and well-represented by our local clubs and others from the area. Come on out and join the fun! -- Pat Freeman ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Directions to Keehner Park: For those of you who want to see this site in Google Earth, enter this location exactly as below, in the "Fly To" field: 39 20 06.83N 84 22 43.11W I-75 to Exit 22, Tylersville Road.
