Sundown at 7:27. New Moon.

Targets should be Jupiter, Venus, Orion and all the usual clusters and such. It's the start of Messier season so we will be able to start seeing more M-targets.

We will have our telescope workshop beforehand so pull that unused telescope out of the closet and bring it with you. We'll help you set it up and you will be able to look at stuff that evening!
