[sac-forum] Small scope and Binocular night at Flatiron for Saturday Night

Howdy all;

 

Well, I had an idea, yes, it does happen occasionally.

 

Seeing as how moonrise for Saturday night is 10:27 PM, that only leaves us 3
hours or so of dark time.  

 

So, instead of lugging all those big telescopes out to Flatiron for the
evening, let's have a small scope and binocular night.  I have two pairs of
binoculars, 8X42 and 15X70.  I will also bring warm clothes, a table and a
folding chair.  Oh yea, the Bright Star Atlas so I can know what I am
looking at.  Maybe something to eat and drink.

 

I am NOT trying to talk anyone into bringing out any type of instrument they
wish to enjoy..don't go there.  Just a thought, seeing as how we will have
only a short time to observe before the eastern sky gets even brighter.  We
can point out our favorite binocular object and enjoy a short night of
observing.

 

See ya there;

Steve Coe
