Full Moon Star Party - Fri 7/18 at PV Park 7:30pm to 10pm

FULL MOON STAR PARTY 7/18 7:30pm to 10pm

Currently, at 2pm-ish on Thursday afternoon,
I'm looking at the weather forecast and it is
showing 30% cloud cover, winds will be ok,
and 10% chance of rain. We know that unless it is
30% chance of rain, we usually do not get the rain
because the heat of the ground evaporates any
chance of rain coming down during the heat of summer.

So, it looks like the star party will be happening.
RSVP is with Rod.
Please, if you have not already RSVP'd in the calendar on our website www.pasasz.org
then drop Rod an email to let him know you are attending.
With Monsoon season, we want to reach you before you
drive to the location only to find that we canceled it due
to weather. So, even though today it looks like a good
forecast and nice weather, tomorrow could bring unexpected
clouds or rain. RSVP today!

Everyone is welcome. We are starting this star party after the Sun is
on the horizon, around 7:30pm. No Solar Viewing.

Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and the Moon will be the highlights.
Last night, Jupiter was right by the Moon and it was really nice
to see!!! Naked Eye. It will be even more spectacular in a telescope.

Also remember, if there are NO Public RSVp's, we cancel this type of
star party. I was just looking at the RSVP's in the calendar and noticed
that 2 PAS members have RSVP'd as "NO." So far that is all we have. Rod
will probably cancel this star party if no one says they are attending.
I currently have NO RSVP's from the public.

Watch for a notice! Around 3pm Friday we will call it on or off!!!
Watch the weather.

If the star party happens, please have a super star gazing night!
I can't attend, I have other obligations that night, but
those of you who can, will enjoy it!!!
