The following are averages of 6 weather forecasts for Tuesday night at Mike's
house in Carefree:
3% clouds 10 mph winds 0% rain
It should be a beautiful night for deep sky and planetary viewing. The 75% moon
doesn't come up until after 11:30 pm. Mars will be about 3 weeks before
opposition, and Saturn will be about 1 week past opposition. Venus and Jupiter
should also look good.
With monsoons predicted to start in the Valley within a few days to a week
after July 3rd, this may be the last time to do great viewing for a couple of
months.
Come on out with your scopes and enjoy a fine night. Potluck starts at 6 pm.
Mike will probably have a sci fi movie to show around 7 pm. Private telescope
viewing for PAS members starts around 9 pm when it gets real dark.
Take care, Sam
