Before anyone cancels attending an event this next week,
I'd like to mention that at Bookmans today, about an hour
ago, 4 young boys are doing a school event in which
they need to view, draw, and find out what moons are
around Jupiter. I told them to come to the Thursday
Telescope workshop / star party at PVCC and we can let
them look through our scopes to get the data they need
for their project at school.
I'd really like to find out who can make it to PVCC
and help with this event, the star party portion of it.
Eric might want to use the Light bridge,
and Don might assist with the telescope workshop.
So, let's see who is RSVp'd and hopefully we can
assist these young boys with their school project.
Thanks in advance.
See you Thursday
Terri

We have 3 parties next week. Tuesday @BM, Thursday @PVCC, and a school Friday,
I can probably only do 2 of the 3, so I have to decide which one not to attend.
I am leaning towards doing BM and the school.

It will be cold. However, I also plan on bringing a thermos of hot chocolate
and thermos of hot apple cider. I will bring a few extra cups, but it would be
nice if PAS people brought their favorite hot drinks. So far I see Mike, Sam,
Frank, Eric, Earl, Darlene, and Don as having rsvp'd. Dress warm, with parkas,
hats, gloves. Tonight the seeing looks beautiful and it is cold. No doubt it
will be cold at PVCC Blk Mountain. I just hate to cancel since we cancelled Nov
and Dec and 3 times in a row is very sad indeed. However, if enough of you
don't want to do it, let me know and I will ask Terri to cancel. Right now,
however, I still want to give it a try. If you get real cold, we can take turns
going inside the PVCC building to warm up for a few minutes. There will be a
lot of good objects to view: Jupiter, Orion Nebula, Andromeda Galaxy, M81 &
M82, Gamma Andromeda double star, etc...Let's try to make it work. Take care,
Sam

I have been looking at the PVCC Blk Mtn coordinates 2 miles S of Cave Creek,
not the City of Phoenix. So the temp should be 40 degrees at 7 pm and then get
to the mid 30's by 10 pm. We should be out of there by 10 pm. Mike and I and
Frank are still planning on doing the Jan 15th event. If it clouds up or if
there are strong winds we can reconsider. But so far Skippy Sky says no
clouds, The Weather Channel says no clouds and Accuweather says no clouds so I
think we should still do it. Again, things could change so we should continue
to monitor it each day. If anyone does back out, please let me know asap. Take
care, Sam

The only issue here is that when it's 40 in Phoenix, it's 8º to 10º colder up
here. While the official low for last night was 37º, it hit 29º here north of
Pinnacle Peak.
So, keep that in mind when we're looking at BMCC - it will be a good bit
chillier than the Phoenix report.

That is just too cold for these old bones; so I will not be attending.
