Notes:
For those of you visiting Pioneertown Preserve for the first time, please remember to dress warmly, as the desert nights can be quite cool. Be sure to bring plenty of drinks and snacks for yourself.
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 don’t know how much observing we’ll get with these clouds.
I’m planning on this also. Even with some clouds, we have 5 planets visible.

Will need to pass on this event as on Christmas Vacation with family. i look forward to the next event. Blessing to all for the coming NEW YEAR!! 2025.

I plan to be there. I’ll be bringing my 12 x 36 ISB. I hope some members come with telescopes because I’d love to see Jupiter and Mars near opposition. And, of course I still love all of the deep sky eye candy.
I’m thinking of going out with my SeeStar for astrophotos.
