Astronomy Novice Group Meeting
Sat., Aug. 11, 6:00 PM to Moonrise
This is the "Heck with the Monsoons" Starparty
Do you think those numbers on eyepieces are alien code?
Is "Lost in Space" a re-run of your last observing session?
Do you think the "Milky Way" is only a candy bar?
Then the Novice Group is just for you. All you need is an interest in
viewing Arizona skies. Please be on time, the demonstrations need to =
start
in twilight for you to see how the telescopes work, dress warm and bring
your curiosity. The Cherry Road site is at least a one hour drive from =
the
city lights, so be on the road by 5:00 PM. If it looks too stormy, =
don't
go. Join our email conversation about observing: go to the SAC website =
at
www.saguaroastro.org and use the "List Subscription" link on the left =
side
of the home page. Join the Az-observing mailing list. =20
Cherry Road II site Directions
Drive north on I-17 about 70 miles from central Phoenix to the Cherry =
Road
exit. This is state highway 169. Turn left over the freeway to the =
west
and go about 5 miles, just beyond mile marker number 10. At the sign =
which
says "Cherry 6" turn south onto a dirt road. Note: this is the =
opposite
direction of the arrow that is on the sign. The observing site is about
6/10 of a mile south on the dirt road on the left, a rather large field. =
It
is one of the few places where the dirt birm on the edge of the road =
will
allow you to drive off the main road.
