Terri,
If we advertise it as going until 9:30, we are going to scare people away. If
we advertise it until 8:00 or 8:30, people will feel better about it.
I'm planning to stay as long as there are people there who want to look, but we
SHOULD NOT say it's an event until 9:00 or beyond on a Sunday evening. That
will chase people away or discourage them from attending.
I vote that we advertise it from 6:15 til 8:30. We can stay later, but we
shouldn't tell the public that. People will then hang out longer if they want
to.

I'm basing this on the info Alex provided
Lunar eclipse, September 27th 2015:
Begin: 6:15pm 15 just below the horizon
(89 degrees)
Total: 7:47 18 degrees above the eastern
horizon
End: 9:27 37 degrees above the eastern horizon
These are all
local times and I’m pretty sure they are correct. The implication is that a
clear view of the eastern horizon will be necessary to see the lunar eclipse
as
it approaches and enters totality.

Our PAS website calendar says the lunar eclipse is September 28th. That
needs to be changed to September 27th . Take care, Sam
