A note from the Club President:

Our next club star party is this Friday, September 11.  As I mentioned at our last meeting, I will be unable to attend our event.  Therefore, I need to confirm whether anyone is planning to attend with a telescope before we lock in the evening.

Please take a minute to complete this short survey:http://www.mtshastastargazers.com/php/star_party_query.php

Your response will help us decide whether to hold the event. If we don’t hear from anyone who plans to bring a scope, we may need to cancel.

Ride needed: One member in Mount Shasta would like to attend but does not have transportation. If you are going and can offer a ride, please note that on the survey.

Thank you in advance.  I will update our membership early on Friday morning whether it is a go or not.

Clear skies,

John Rogers
President, Mount Shasta Stargazers

Spend an unforgettable summer evening under some of Northern California’s skies with the Mount Shasta Stargazers. Bring the whole family to explore the night sky through telescopes, spot constellations, planets, and deep-sky objects, or simply relax in a lawn chair and enjoy the Perseid meteor shower..

The event begins at 8:00 PM, with observing conditions improving as darkness falls. Guests are encouraged to arrive before sunset to safely set up telescopes or binoculars. Your president will be there at 8:00 PM, so there will be at least one telescope for observing.

The weather forecast is calling for clear skies, with temperatures in the low 60s around midnight, so it should be a comfortable event:  http://www.astrospheric.com/?Latitude=41.26853216615922&Longitude=-121.97804211044274&Loc=Forecast
