Event

Clear skies everywhere!

Tomorrow evening, Wednesday 10/7, we are heading to one of the best observing locations in the region, Mt Pisgah Trailhead parking area.  Sky conditions this good don't come by often.  Don't squander the opportunity to witness a fantastic sky and Milky Way.

Mt Pisgah Trailhead parking is at mile marker 407.6 on the Blue Ridge Parkway.  This is also a great place to watch the sunset, which will be at 7:08 tomorrow.

PopUps are open to everyone.  You don't need equipment to join in.

Tech support is always available for newbies and oldsters alike
