Join Lead Night Sky Rangers Kim and Geoff McLean this evening for a Tour of the Solar system planets that are available. The Moon doesn’t rise until 10PM and clearing the trees probably after 11PM. So we’ll take a look at Saturn and it’s glorious rings, Neptune, and maybe even Pluto. After this we’ll look for some deep sky objects – using both the Seestar telescope and then viewing the same objects through the big telescope visually. Among the objects will be the Andromeda Galaxy (our closest neighbor), perhaps the Skull Nebula, Heart Nebula, and North American Nebula, as well as the Owl Cluster. Dress warm and bring something to sit upon as the grass is likely to be wet. There will also be kid-friendly activities between viewings & hot cocoa.
