TV Turnoff Week Stargazing

Apr 21, 5:15pm — I’m going to plan on going to the park at around 8:30 unless it is completely overcast.  But I do not expect the weather to be suitable for viewing at all.  Please use your common sense and have a look at the sky.  If you can only see clouds, or if you can’t see any stars, it won’t be any better a few blocks away at the park, so you may as well stay home.

We will be trying, once again, to have a stargazing time in Shore Road Park (see map below).  Unfortunately, this time is scheduled for a weeknight due to scheduling conflicts.  And, since the sun sets later now, we can’t start until 8:30.  TV Turnoff week occurs this year duing the 3rd quarter phase, so the moon will not be visible during our outing, but Saturn should be visible and we can take a brief tour of the constellations and stars bright enough to be seen above the city lights.

As always, this event is subject to weather conditions.  In the event of rain or overcast skies, the rain date is Wednesday, April 22, at the same time and location.
