Terri, if you need help with either the 14th or the 28th let me know. I still
suggest the Park for the 14th and Mike's for the 28th. Sam

The people who pick the national astro day don't realize the 1st quarter moon
is not the best time to have the viewing event. But if Mike wouldn't mind, I'd
love to put Nat Astro day public event on May 14. Mike? your place? I"ll put it
together if anyone wants to do it with me????
At Mike's.Terri

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.ThanksTerri, 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.
