Spontaneous Star Party, FootHills Parkway 4 Miles East US321
Clear skies!
At least till about midnight Saturday Clear Sky Chart looks good
so if you want some company observing liets do the Foothills
Parkway 4 miles east of US321 entrance. Arrive at about 6:30 for
some light and be on the look out for Venus. It must be near
greatest elongation and must be showing some phase.
Then Sirius will make a showing and then Orion with the unusualy
dim armpit of the giant, Betelgeuse.
I made a FaceBook event you can also visit and share.
