OK, ladies and gentlemen, the premier binocular-astronomy event of the season has been scheduled for the evening of Thursday, June 13th at the Lakeside site. Hopefully this is enough notice for working stiffs (like me) to schedule the next day off. The summer Milky Way will be straddling the meridian, with Autumn objects coming into view later in the evening. A waxing crescent moon will set just about the time that all traces of summer twilight vanish. Thursday night should also mean less traffic on I-80 than a weekend night (better driving conditions, less automobile light-pollution from the highway.) Bring your binocular observing set-ups, we will be taking pictures for inclusion in various resource venues and newsletters. Telescopes are welcome, but for this night, binoculars will be center-stage. Club officers, please let your respective memberships know about this gathering! Weather permitting, of course. Rain before the event will turn the Lakeside site into an impossible mudhole. Be there or be square! (er, parallelogram...) Chuck __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
