No one will be there at dawn, nor will the Sun be visible from that location
until maybe 8 or 9am, due to the location of the campus buildings. Did you have
a start time in mind?

10 years ago PAS showed the Mercury transit of the Sun at PVCC on 34th st and
Union Hills. We had about 10 PAS members attend and hundreds of students and
members of the public.
I suggest we put the upcoming Mercury transit event of Monday May 9, 2016,
on our PAS calendar. I think PVCC would again be a great place for the
transit. It will be from approximately dawn until approximately 12 noon. We
can have solar scopes for sunspots and h-alpha scopes for the solar flares.
We can have a table set up for information and do a press release for the
public assuming PVCC will allow the public on their campus again. We then
need to decide which campus to have the event. Since we don't need dark skies
I suggest the main campus as more centrally located and having the most
students. Terri, please check with Jenny to see if we can do this special
event at PVCC unless PAS members think we should do another location in the
Valley.
Take care, Sam Insana President of PAS
