[sac-forum] 5" F/15 refractor demo at Stone Haven

I'd like to invite anyone interested in observing through the 5" F/15 refractor 
I mentioned at the August meeting.  I'll have it set up at Stone Haven, and we 
can do side-by-side comparisons with the 5" F/9.3 APO.  Could be fun, 
especially if you're interested in maybe buying it.

Drop me an email here, or call me on my cell, 602-390-0118.  A map is available 
via a blind link on my website, (click on the dome on the front page).

Howdy all;
 
SAC is having a Novice Group star party at Cherry Road for this Saturday and I 
fired up my planetarium program and there will be a great planetary conjunction 
after sunset.  Saturn will be 9 degrees from the Sun and may not be visible.  
But, Venus and
Mercury will be 21 degrees from the Sun and very close together.  Mars will be 
above the two of them.  Ought to be a great sight.
 
Clear skies to us all;
Steve Coe
