I suggest the park May 14, for Astronomy Day. The city lights won't hurt seeing
a quarter moon, Saturn, Mars and Jupiter. Kevin should do a press release for
that one.The 28th for Mars could be at Mike's since his place is a darker site
and we could see other objects. I would open it up to the public on our website
with rsvps but not a press release to keep the numbers controlled because of
parking.People should realize that Mars will be closest to Earth the latter
part of May, but still about 46 million miles. It will be July 2018 when it
will be over 10 million miles closer.Take care. Sam

Sam, that's a great idea, Coyote basin park, but it closes at 10pm.
If that is fine with everyone, i'm ok with it.
Kevin, can you set it up at the park?
And what about the Mars party on May 28, shoud we do the park that night too?
I'm open for suggestions.Tell me what you want the online calendar to
say.thanksTerri

time to have a star party to show the moon, mars, jupiter and saturn We can
also do a press release for the public to join us being astronomy day. If we
expect big crowds like we had with the lunar eclipse, we may want Coyote Basin
park again. Sam

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. Pete Turner From:

(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? AlexOn Jan 26, 2016, at 5:03 PM, insanas (Redacted sender

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. Ted B. On Tue, Jan 26, 2016 at 2:58 PM, Terri <starstuff@xxxxxxxxx>
