We are a GO!
AAC volunteers needed for a Stargazing Outreach @ Hickory Ranch.
Volunteer members with and without telescopes please register here for entry to the event and for updates. I can still put volunteers to work even if you don't have a telescope!
A GO or NO GO will be emailed to registrants the day of the event. You need to be registered for me to send you updates!!
Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park is hosting an outreach for stargazing by the Alachua Astronomy Club, weather permitting, at Hickory Ranch.
Visitors (not AAC volunteers) need to register with Friends of Paynes Prairie at their website then click events for registration.
Sunset is at 6:25 pm. Event is scheduled to start at 5:30 pm and finish at 8:30 pm. We may go a bit later if weather is accommodating.
Volunteers should arrive no later than 5:00 pm. Pick out several sky objects and note a few details about them to share. The moon will already be up at 36 % illumination. Limited ac power is available with a long extension cord if needed. Temps fall after dark so dress warmly.
Point of contact for Alachua Astronomy Club is Lisa Eager, Star Party Coordinator @ 352-318-4074.
