Registration


Registration is closed

Tonight's star party is a tentative GO.  I waited a bit before calling tonight to see if the forecast would get any clearer...it did not.  So my GO comes with a disclaimer!

Weather forecasts are showing a short period of clear skies early, about an hour just after sunset, then getting cloudy. 

Moonrise is at 10 pm at 90% illumination. 

You should check the forecast yourself before heading out to Chiefland.  Mathhew will be underfoot playing with a new toy.....hence the cloud cover!


Exclusively for AAC members!

AAC has organized a dark sky star party at one of the darkest skies on the east coast!

Sunset is 6:34 pm.  

Arrive at least one hour before sunset for setup and to get familiar with the observing field before dark.

PLEASE review the Star Party etiquette for Chiefland.   http://shorturl.at/cgkMO

You need to register to attend and receive directions to observing field.  


 Event Alerts - Members please register to attend.  A "GO" or "NO GO" will be emailed to registrants by noon the day of the event.  Your need to be registered for me to send you updates!  Also, please double check weather conditions before heading out to Chiefland.
