Howdy all;
I have had several people get with me about going to Sentinel this =
weekend. I will certainly be there, sounds like we are set up for a fun =
time. I am going to try and get out of town early, so I will meet ya =
there. Map to get there follows this message, it is the flyer for the =
big star party in March, but he place is the same. It is about 2 hours =
from Phoenix, so try and leave early enough to get there in twilight.

Sentinel-Schwaar Star Gaze
Sat. March 9, 2002
=20
The Sentinel-Schwaar Star Gaze is a chance for astronomers to meet at an =
Arizona dark sky site. It is sponsored by the Deep Sky Group of the =
Saguaro Astronomy Club in memory of Pierre Schwaar. There is no =
registration and no fee to attend, just show up and enjoy the night sky. =
In the past, folks have arrived on Friday, for two nights of observing. =
There are no facilities at the site, it is just a large flat area in =
the middle of the desert southwest. It gets both hot and cold, =
depending on the whim of the weather, so bring cool water and warm =
clothes. Please be courteous about white light, many observers and =
photographers are going after very dim objects.

To get to the site, drive to Gila Bend, AZ. and get on the I-8 freeway =
going west toward Yuma. The Sentinel exit is about 30 miles west from =
Gila Bend. Take the exit and go south, under the freeway and across the =
railroad tracks. Go straight south on the dirt road and drive 2 miles =
until you see a large, flat area of the desert to your left, white rocks =
mark the site. It is before a cattle guard. YOU ARE THERE!
