PAS Members,
Awesome Monday to all!
I'm looking at our calendar and it is scarce in events. Mike doesn't have
any great events lined up but the public keeps asking for public events
they can attend.
Does anyone want to hold more events than are listed, currently on the
calendar?
Here's the Summer list of events:
June 10 or 24 is the last Monthly CTCA event.
We are working to change the schedule to quarterly, per CTCA request.
June 12 is Yves Party - RSVP with Yves to attend.
June 12 is also the next DBG Adults Education class, for which we are all
set, as long as weather allows this back up date to happen.
June 28 is the next Bookmans Telescope Workshop.
July 3 is a Fireworks party, at the moment attendance is for PAS Members
only. Due to the moon being so large, there will not be a star party this
night. But there will be movies, games, potluck, and hopefully popsicles or
other cold refreshments brought by the attendees, for enjoying after dinner
and during the fireworks. RSVP required. Location: Mike's home in carefree.
More details will be in the calendar.
July 26 Bookmans Telescope Workshop.
Aug 30 Bookmans Telescope Workshop.
That's it for the summer.
Mike, do you want to host any private star gazing with potluck events? How
many, I can set it up.
Anyone else want to host a party or do you have something you want to do a
party for, such as the Perseid Meteor shower which falls during No moon
this year on Aug 12, but it is a Wednesday night. Anyone want me to see if
Mike will host a party that night, for the viewing of the meteor shower as
well as maybe a star party? Let me know.
Neptune is at opposition on Setp 1. Anyone interested in a star party to
view that on Saturday Sept 5, when the moon will not be in our way to see
Neptune? Someone should look that up, now that i think of it, the moon
might be near Neptune later after Midnight.
I will be setting up the school events later this month. If you want to
grab a Friday night before the schools do, let me know, so we don't put
schools on nights we want to ourselves.
September great viewing Saturday nights are:
Sept 5 and 12
October great viewing nights are
Oct 3 and 10 and 31
November great viewing nights are
Nov 7
I guess we call these Dark sky nights, in which the moon doesn't rise until
after midnight, thus the sky is darker, longer.
December dark sky nights are
Dec 5 and then Dec 12 we have a 1 day old moon
That covers the rest of the year.
We have events Sept to Dec I didn't list, so check the calendar.
Have a super day!
