Member Viewing Session |
PAA Observing runs are held on the Friday nearest New Moon. The public is invited. In case of cloudy weather on Friday, the following Saturday will be the back-up session. Set up time will be at dusk which means we’ll be getting together anywhere from 7:00 pm in the winter until 9:30 pm during the summer months. Coffee and doughnuts are supplied.
The host observatory calls the ‘go’ or ‘no go’ on weather – smart people call in advance.
