The Riverside Astronomical Society (RAS) has invited local clubs to visit their GMARS site for the 20th anniversary of purchasing GMARS and the club’s 65th year. We have changed our regular star party location for this evening. Pioneertown is available for those that wish to go there.
RAS has a Star-B-Q potluck that begins at 4:00 pm; bring a side if you want to participate. Camping overnight is permitted.

Notes:
Site location and star party information can be found on the rivastro.org website.
Star Party Etiquette:
As with all star parties, please observe standard star party etiquette. Some tips: try to arrive and set up before dark; use no white light – use red filtered flashlights wherever possible – minimize white light from the auto door and dome lights; if you arrive late or plan to leave early, take care to approach and park so your headlights or backup lights do not shine on other participants; if you leave early or must use white light, first give a warning so observers or astrophotographers can compensate; please ask before handling other participant’s telescope equipment. Most importantly, be prepared to relax and enjoy good company under the night sky.

I think I am going to be there. I might not make it to the potluck and maybe not even bring a telescope 🙂
I will be there with a fruit salad and my 12.5 inch dob.
I will be there with a big salad and a 20″ telescope.
