FAQs:

When will the Zoom link become available?  This will be made available as soon as possible. And yes, we anticipate that we will have internet access at Charlie Elliott. 

What if the weather is too poor for observing? We will remain at the Campbell Aquatic Building and hold Rich Jakiel's talk there instead. 

Will the SeeStar talk and demo be on Zoom too?  We will try, but this will be an open air discussion and the audio might be poor.

Should I go to the AAC's Sandy Springs location? We are not planning to have an in-person meeting at the cottage at Lost Corner Preserve, however we may open this up for those who would prefer to watch the Zoom meeting from there. 

Do I have to stay all night at the astronomy field?  No, this is not a requirement at the Charlie Elliott astronomy field, however please take care with headlights when leaving.
