It looks like we'll have clear skies on Saturday night. The park is
located 12 miles north of Dadeville on Hwy 49. I will be here by 5:45
to help set up scopes and put down traffic cones. We'll begin the
indoor slideshow at 7:00 and head out to the viewing area around 7:30.
If you could come to the park with some knowledge of the great orion
nebula, the pleiades, andromeda galaxy, the double cluster and the
beehive that would be great. By knowledge I mean know how to find them.
Anything else you'd like to locate and share would be great.
Most people will just want to talk about the telescope and the 'cool'
stuff out there.
I hope to have a few scopes set up looking at different objects. People
can line up and talk with the scope operator. I'll talk about the
constellations, myths and help out with scopes.
This is our first attempt with telescopes and am really looking forward
to it. Thanks in advance for you help. Please feel free to call me at
256-234-7111 or email me at Randall_becker@... if you have any
questions on comments.
