Local amatuers aim for the stars on October 16th!

Today we are pleased to announce the creation of the East Central Minnesota Astronomy Club.  Several locals have come together to form this group in hopes of sharing and spreading our continued love of cosmic observation.  Our club will have regularly scheduled star parties and,  to kick things off, we are pleased to announce that on Saturday, October 16th we will be meeting on the soccer field north of/behind Trailview Elementary school in Mora beginning at 7:00pm.   Several telescopes will be on-site and visitors can expect views of the moon (Luna), Jupiter, double stars, planetary nebulae, distant galaxies and more!  No prior knowledge is needed.  Just bring your curiosity and dress warmly in case the event goes into the late evening hours.  If you have a telescope and would like to bring it, we would enjoy the addition to the group.  If you have a telescope and need assistance, bring it along and we will do our best to get you up and viewing.  We hope to see you out there enjoying the views!
