Upcoming meetups
Three near-term gatherings, each planned for approachable observing and shared learning. Scan the focus and practical note to choose the night that suits you.
Focus: First-quarter Moon study with easy crater identification and beginner telescope handoffs.
Practical note: Best contrast arrives before 8:30 PM; bring a light layer for cooler river wind.
Focus: Constellation tracing for Orion and Taurus, plus naked-eye star color comparisons.
Practical note: Arrive near dusk for orientation while horizon landmarks are still visible.
Focus: Gentle introduction to bright clusters and nebula targets with shared finder-chart practice.
Practical note: Ground may be damp after sunset, so waterproof shoes are recommended.
If one of these evenings feels right, continue to the invitation below for joining details and arrival guidance.
