Observatory Open House; 8:30pm, Weds, Aug.18th
Jul 26th, 2010 | By odirector | Category: EventsMembers and guests are welcome to the Ragland Observatory’s monthly open house at 8:30 pm, Wednesday evening, Aug 18th. I’ll send out a reminder the day before on the club’s directory ( keep Jim Blowers advised if yours has changed) and on Richastro.org.
We’ll have a 10 day old Moon that will display big craters such as Plato, Copernicus and Clavius; the Tenereffe mts, and also the unusual “Straight Wall” might be seen. Some classic binaries such as Epsilon Lyra and Alpha Hercules will be out as well. Bring and share personal telescopes if you like. See the “observatory” page for directions.
John Barnett, Obs. Director
