“Experience the Universe at Charlie Elliott”
Join us for our next meeting at 3 p.m., Saturday, February 18, 2012,
at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center’s Visitor Center.
MEETING AGENDA
Feature Presentation: “Navigating the Skies by Star Hopping”
Daniel Herron, Board Chair of the Atlanta Astronomy Club and former Observing Chair, will present a talk on how to observe the night sky without a computer – “Navigating the Skies by Star Hopping + an Introduction to Extreme Star Hopping, the Messier Marathon”.
This Month’s Sky
A short program of special objects conveniently placed in the night sky over the next month will be presented by Steven Phillips, CE chapter observing supervisor.
Sunset Time Alert
After the main programs, and if the meeting runs extra-long, a “Sunset Time Alert” will be announced. While we’d love for everyone to stay for the entire meeting, we also realize that some folks prefer to leave a bit earlier so as to set up their equipment at the observing field before dark. On February 18, sunset will occur at 18:21 p.m. EDT.
“Observing after the meeting”
All are invited to the observing field immediately after the meeting (weather-permitting). Everyone is welcome.
Place: Jon Wood Astronomy Field at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center
