If you have a telescope bring it along. We can help with questions as time allows. \nThis event happens monthly on the Saturday nearest the first quarter Moon as the weather allows at the Richard Bong State Recreational Area (RBSRA) parking lot F. https://maps.app.goo.gl/QWhf22Tif8eRDojU7 \nA current state park sticker for each vehicle is required and carpooling is encouraged. \nNotes: \n\nTo enable better viewing of the night sky we ask that all white lights be turned off and any other forms of light including cell phones be kept to a minimum and use dark mode when possible.\nPlease note that this event is outside and weather dependent. Dress for cooler temperatures with multiple layers of clothing for warmth as temperatures drop quickly at night. This event may be cancelled because of inclement weather which includes rain\, significant cloud cover\, or extreme temperatures.\n\nPhotos courtesy Tom Harper \n
