[sac-board] SAC Star Party at Cherry Rd Saturday

Hello SAC Members!

As I mentioned at the meeting Friday, the club star party is at the Cherry
Rd site, Saturday July 14. Sunset is 7:43pm, moonrise is 1:09am.

Directions to the Cherry Rd Observing Site (updated):

From Phoenix take I-17 north for about 60 miles. Take the Cherry Road exit
(Exit 278) and turn left (west) over the freeway. This is also Highway 169.
Go west about 5 miles, just beyond marker 10. There is a sign which says
"Cherry 6". At the sign, turn left (south). Note: This is the opposite way
the arrow on the sign points. You will be on a pretty well-maintained dirt
road, however, there are some natural speed bumps, so drive slow. The site
is located 0.5 mile south of the hard surfaced Cherry Road. The observing
field is a large meadow to your right (west) thru a gate. It is marked with
the traditional Boy Scout rock marker, i.e, several rocks stacked on top of
each other at the turn off.
