I checked the programs I use to get the sunset and sunrise data for the
newsletter and 1 agrees with you that sunset tonight is 7:16 and the other
says 7:15. Both are on my tablet and used the GPS to set my location.

Eric, thanks for the input. The only thing I find weird is the sunset
time. I have checked 3 sources all saying 7:16 pm tonight in Phoenix. I
agree that it looks like Venus and Jupiter may
be the only objects shown, plus the sun if we are lucky.
Take Care, Sam

Looking at the transparency, I’m seeing 40-50% (lower is worse) on
Skippy and “too cloudy to forecast” on ClearSky. Looks pretty iffy…. Also
just FYI, sunset is 7:37, so it won’t be really dark until close to the end
of the event. Moon is not up until 11:30. Saturn rises at 8:14 but
probably won’t be visible until after the end of the event. Looks like
Venus and Jupiter…

Terri, The above still shows some cloud and wind problems, but my opinion
is that we may still be able to show the Sun, Jupiter and Venus. We should
let the school know
of the marginal weather and see if they still wants us there. We cancelled
in March because of bad weather, so I would lean toward having the star
party tonight.
If we go, we need to bring a tarp or plastic to protect the scopes just in
case of the possible but slight chance of rain.
Also we need to watch the scopes because of possible wind gusts. We
should also dress warmer for the cool evening.
Mike, Don, and Pete please let Terri know your opinions on the above.
Terri, when you talk to Jason (520-403-8170) see if he still wants us
there even though there may be
problems with the weather. We are to set up at 6 pm, do solar from 6:30
to 7 pm (Sunset is 7:15 pm) We can do the night sky from 7:30 to 9 pm.
We can eat from 7 to 7:30 pm.
Let us know what the school wants to do. Thanks, Terri, Sam
