Forecast is looking pretty good for clear skies [tonight]. How about stargazing at our Twin Valley site? See icastro.org for a map. There's a First Quarter Moon, Venus, plenty of star clusters and double stars, and maybe meteors. I'll be there for sunset at 4:45. And it's Carl Sagan's birthday. Wear a turtleneck.I'll have to search for a turtleneck. I have a really nice one, but it's very thin & I think I'll have to wear lots of things under it.
