SAC member Steve Dodder will be representing SAC at the observing session we still plan to hold tonight at the Arizona Science Center, weather permitting. If anyone else would like to come and join us, please do! We've been receiving phone calls for a couple of days now; it could be very busy! It's from 7:30-9:30 tonight (Wednesday); I know that Mars won't be very high in the sky, but most people just want to see it through a telescope and don't mind if the features aren't all visible. _______________________________________ Christine Shupla Planetarium Director Arizona Science Center (602) 716-2078 shuplac@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Hopkins [mailto:phxjeff@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 3:48 PM To: az-observing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [AZ-Observing] Re: Mars Party I keep checking, but have not seen any announcement of a club Mars observing outing this weekend. In case you have not been following the news, there is a GREAT interest in astronomy right now and reports are that telescopes are going like hot cakes with many stores out of stock. this would certainly be a great time to get the public to realize SAC exists. Are there any plans? This weekend and the following couple would be great for setting something up for the public. No need for dark skies so any place like perhaps south mountain. Would be great. This is a fantastic time and opportunity to promote SAC and astronomy.
