SAC Members and Guests!
Come to AZ Horse Lovers Park at Reach 11 Recreation Area for a Public Star
Party on Friday August 15, 2003 from 8:00 to 10 pm+. Arrive about 7:30 or
earlier to set up.
Semi-dark sky should be good to show the brighter Sagittarius, Scorpius,
Cygnus and Hercules objects to the inquisitive public. Mercury is at
greatest eastern elongation in the west and Mars should rise to 20 degrees
by 9:30-10 just enough to whet their appetites. Only 0.025 of the general
population has ever seen Mercury. Don't forget your stepstools, aperture
masks, green lasers, and insect repellent.
The park is on Tatum Blvd just south of Loop 101 right before the CAP canal.
Or 1.5 mile north of Bell Rd on Tatum. Turn right (west) after getting off
the 101 or left if coming from Bell.
Look for published announcements and pictures in the Mesa Tribune, the AZ
Republic in the science section on Tuesday, and the Night&Day section of the
New Times on Wednesday.
