Yesterday the world wide Globe at Night Event kicked off. We did discuss this in our last meeting and I urge all members to participate in this. Follow the link here to download a pdf explaining what to do to determine how dark the sky is in your location. This pdf is the same as the sheets you were handed in the meeting. Remember, we are not looking for the darkest skies, we are looking at how light polution affects the sky at night in your area.

When you determined how dark (or light) the sky is, you can report the result on-line as explained in the instructions, but we also would like to record this info for our Chapter and compare them to the data of some other members. So please send me an email (director@ceastronomy.org) with the coordinates of the location, time of check and the result. If you do not have the time to report this on-line, we are happy to do this for you if you let us know that you want us to report it for you.

Clear Skies
