During this type of eclipse, the Moon will gradually get darker and then take on a rusty or blood red color.Club members will bring there scopes out to the APO to observe the total eclipse of the moon. We will have an eclipse presentation in the APC starting at 8:00. Bring your red-light flashlights, binoculars and a lawn chair.
There will be a $5.00 fee per person to help support the Arthur Pursell Observatory.
