The APL Astronomy Club’s Fall Friends & Family Star Party will be held Friday, November 16th , starting at 5:00 pm. Now that we’ve returned to Daylight Normal Time, the sun is setting pretty early, so we can start the star party early, too. We expect to finish between 9 and 10 pm, depending on how the night’s going.
Star gazing is always contingent on sky conditions. The star party is a GO!. The weather for this evening is looking pretty good. The temperatures will be COLD: 40 degrees at sunset, dropping to 35 by 9 pm.. This concludes the weather update for tonight.
APLers and their friends and families are invited. Club members will have several telescopes out for your viewing pleasure. Bring your own optics if you have ’em – the more, the merrier! NO FLASHLIGHTS
