May 14 sounds good. I’d like to see Mars when it’s as close as possible
because the last few times I’ve looked it has been very tiny.. Also,
that’s a nice time to view the moon. Lots of interesting craters.

May 14th offers a half (1st quarter) moon, almost high in the sky when
Mars rises at about 8pm.
Sounds good to me. But can Mike accept the weight of an extra year a
couple of weeks early?

National and international astronomy day is May14, 2016. Perhaps we could
view the moon and Mars and Saturn and Jupiter.

Mars won't change appreciably in size or distance for a few weeks on
either side of opposition. So choosing a night without interference from
the Moon should be possible without losing detail in the Mars viewing.
Just wondering if that had been considered.

A full moon should not affect the viewing of Mars...Mars is bright enough
that you don't need dark skies to see it well.

Here’s what I found out about Mars:
The “official” time of opposition is on Sun, May 22, 2016 at 04:10 MST,
one hour before it sets.
On Saturday, May 21, a 15.4 day-old moon rises at almost the same time as
Mars does, at 7:23pm. At this time the moon is nearly full, so I doubt that
this is a good time to view Mars.

Good morning PAS members,
I was asked to set up a Mars viewing party on May 21 for the Opposition of
Mars. This is a Full Moon Saturday. We can combine it with a birthday party
and potluck.
*Mike*, is this ok to hold at your house?
*Sam or Alex*, can you get me some viewing details about Mars, best time
to view it, etc.
And Should we make this a public or private event?
Let me know and i'll get it on the calendar.
Thanks
Terri, Event Manager
I appreciate any help in getting details about sunset, other objects in
the night sky not near the Full Moon, etc. Moon rise and set time, and
anything else you can send my way.
I'd also be interested in knowing how many may attend. So, if you're
interested in attending, just send back a quick reply. This would not be
your RSVP. You'd do that in the calendar once the event is on line.
