There will be an informal gathering of anyone interested in viewing the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn on Monday 12/21/2020 just after sunset. Several club members will be on Jon Wood Astronomy Field with telescopes.The two planets set around 7:30 pm so don’t come late or you’ll miss it tonight! Non-members should arrive before dusk as the state’s gate at Elliott Trail locks at 6 pm. If necessary you can park outside the gate and walk down to the field to join us. (Please don’t block the road or the gate.) All are welcome.
COVID safety protocols are in effect. Please be considerate of others by wearing a mask and practicing social distancing.
