On Saturday, June 20 the Charlie Elliott Chapter of the Atlanta Astronomy Club will have an informal observing night on Jon Wood Astronomy Field, weather-permitting. We will NOT be at the Campbell Aquatics Building. Start time is 7:30 PM.

• While the latest official announcement from the Georgia governor’s office has lifted the 25-person limit on gatherings, we remind all attendees that the CDC’s 6-foot social distancing requirement remains in effect.  Also, facemasks are strongly suggested.
• The Elliott Trail automatic road gate at Marben Farm Rd. closes for incoming traffic at 4:30 PM, so be prepared to enter the gate code when you arrive. The gate opens automatically for outgoing traffic as you approach it to leave, so no code is required to exit. [Gate codes are issued to current members of the Atlanta Astronomy Club. Contact a CE officer or committee chair if you need help with this: http://ceastronomy.org/blog/home/officers.]
• We will have a VERY brief business meeting at 7:30 PM to elect our officers for the upcoming year and to distribute a few awards (short and sweet — no program, no talks).
• Attendees are invited to bring a camp chair and their own drink, sack supper, carryout food, or snack so we can sit and socialize for awhile after our short meeting (articularly if it’s cloudy!) We will not be sharing food due to COVID-19 guidelines.
• Sunset at our location will be at 8:48 PM. Astronomical dusk ends at 10:31 PM with the Sun finally 18 degrees below horizon and “full darkness”.
• All attendees are invited to stay for observing while maintaining Georgia’s social distancing requirement.
• Because this will be on the Jon Wood Astronomy Field and not indoors, we will reschedule if the weather is bad.
