Vasquez Rock Star Party

by: Simon Tang

Saturday, July 2, 2016 will be the Local Group of Santa Clarita Valley’s quarterly Star Party at Vasquez Rocks. Everyone is invited to view the heavens with us and the event is free.  It should be a lot of fun with Jupiter, Mars and Saturn making an appearance.  We will begin at 6pm with setup and solar scopes.  This time we have made arrangements with the park rangers to stay a bit later because sundown isn’t until 8:30.  We can observe until11:30 and then we have to be packed up and out of the gate before midnight.

Bring your scopes if you have them. Come early if you’d like help in setting up a new telescope. Our club members are very knowledgeable and can get you started.

We will be commemorating our club’s 32nd anniversary.

The weather forecast that evening is:  91 degrees, 30% humidity, 10 mph wind, clear skies.  Let’s hope it holds!

This is a perfect family summer evening activity so bring the whole crew.
