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 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.
Have a great weekend and I hope you can make it to the star party!

We have cancelled this outreach due top the weather that night: overcast and likely rain.
Weather permitting, I’m planning to be there.
Weather could be a factor. Stay tuned to here in case plans change.
Will be there if weather holds up.
