Next Public Star Party Saturday Nov 6th 6:30 at the Jaycee's Ballpark!

We are very pleased to announce our next evening under the stars for the public.  Members are encouraged to arrive 30min before the start to assist with the setup.  This will be a moonless night, so we hope to showcase many of the fainter deep sky objects not visible at our last star party.  You should expect excellent views of Jupiter, the Andromeda galaxy, the Dumbell nebula, and many other highlights of the sky.  All are welcome, so join us for some fellowship and education before the deep Winter sets in.

                       Members get set up for the October 16th Star Party at Trailview Elementary School.

  2. We already have had some cold nights here in Nortwest Indiana. I don't even want to think about winter observing in Minnesota!

    Good luck!
