There is an outreach scheduled at Glen Helen for the Boy Scouts this Saturday, Sept. 29 from 6:30pm to 9:30pm.  The setup location is attached.
The next club meeting is Saturday, October 6th.

Tonight, Friday September 21, is the outreach at the San Bernardino County Museum.  Setup around 7:00 pm with viewing starting at 8:00 pm.  We will be setting up in the back by taking the Edward’s Mansion driveway.  All other visitors will need to enter the museum normally and paid an entry fee.  There will be other astronomy related actives this evening in addition to viewing.  We will have Mars, Saturn, Jupiter and Venus along with the Moon.

This weekend is the second trip to the White Mountains for our “Grandview” of dark night sky.  The official dates are Sept. 7-9; some are going up early on Thursday, Sept. 6.  We will be camping at the lower Cedar Flats campground at the Nelson camp site.  Cedar Flats is the campground on highway 168 right before the typical Grandview / Bristle cone pines turn off.  Please use the event SignUp to let people know that you are coming and what your are contributing to the Saturday breakfast potluck.

This Saturday’s, July 14th, Star Party is at The Wildlands Conservancy in Oak Glen.  A shorter drive but more light pollution than from a more distant location. This is a star party for members and guests; not an outreach.  We will have Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars to observe.
The address is at:

Los Rios Rancho
39611 Oak Glen Rd
