Sunset glow is lingering longer this week, so telescope setup begins at 7:45 PM and observing starts at 8:15 PM at North Meadow.
Best visibility is between 7:10 and 7:40 PM in the western sky; bring binoculars for a cleaner edge view before twilight deepens.
The updated orientation now includes a quick star-hopping checklist and a simple telescope alignment flow for first-time attendees.
We need two members for arrival check-in and eyepiece rotation support at next week’s public night; shifts are one hour each.
Forecast models currently suggest high cloud cover after 9 PM; final go/no-go confirmation will be posted by 4 PM Thursday.
