- There will be KLT volunteers there to direct traffic. (Sunset is at approx. 7 pm.)
- Please wear solid footwear as there are rough patches in the observing area and wear warm clothing.
- Also make sure you have a red flashlight or headlight so that you can find your way around without compromising other people's night vision.
