Friday Stargazing

Clouds are forecast until 8:30 p.m.; the club will then decide whether to use the roof.

A telescope has a damaged tripod foot, so it must stand on the flat platform, not the grass.

If clouds remain, the club will meet indoors and use a planetarium app.

The club asks members to arrive ten minutes early and keep bags away from the equipment. A volunteer will explain how to focus the telescope before anyone takes a turn.

Members should bring a warm jacket because the platform can be windy even on a clear evening. The meeting notice is updated on the club page by 7 p.m. If the roof is used, the group will observe the Moon first and then look for a bright planet.

Beginners may work with a partner, while experienced members help record what the group sees. These arrangements let everyone take part safely, even when the weather changes.
