[sac-forum] Star Party at Saddle Mountain this Saturday

All,

This month's Star party will be held at a site near Tonopah we've dubbed
Saddle Mountain. Since the site at Flat Iron is no longer viable due to
development, we need to decide on a new winter observing site. 

Directions to the site are posted below. Although it seems farther than Flat
Iron it's only about 5-10 minutes further.

Take I-10 west to the Wintersburg Rd. Exit (exit 98). Head south (left over
the freeway) 9.6 miles to Elliot Rd. Note the Wintersburg Road changes it's
name to S 383rd Ave 7.6 miles from the freeway (Along the Baseline Rd
Alignment). Turn West (right) onto Elliot for 6.1 miles. The road turns to
dirt at this point and swings north onto S 435th Ave. After 1.1 miles it
turns left (West) onto Dobbins Road.  Go 2.5 miles and the entrance to the
site is just past a bow in the road. GPS 

Coordinates are: N33 21.863, W 113 01.904   Elevation 1041'

Astronomical Data:
Sunset:         1810
End Ast. Twilight:      1932
Moonrise:               0315            

Clear Skies
