Event

The Public is invited, but due to the early morning eclipse.  However, due to the early early morning viewing it's doubtful we'll get much public participation. 

We plan to set up observing at a small pumping station about 200 yards Northwest of the Community College Center (near the intersection of Sandy Drive and College Drive).  Download the location link (just below the Sunset information and Public instructions).

We will be able to see the beginning of the eclipse through the totality, just before the moon sets at 6:35 AM.
