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
