Here is the flyer for the Sentinel-Schwaar Star Gaze for Mar. 1, 2003. =
I chose a date before the Messier Marathon because it is very hot at =
Sentinel, Az if I pick a New Moon date after April. So, please show up =
with a list of galaxies in Virgo, Leo and Coma....then wait up late for =
all those Summer goodies to rise up for your enjoyment. Also, lots of =
planets to view on this night, if you are so inclined. If you are the =
member of a club other than SAC, please pass out a few of these if you =
get the chance to encourage some new folks to attend. Hoping for some =
great viewing on a cool, clear night. Steve Coe =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 #87, 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!
