On Saturday, September 19, 2020 the Charlie Elliott Chapter of the Atlanta Astronomy Club will have an informal observing night on Jon Wood Astronomy Field, weather-permitting. Recommended arrival time is @ sunset.
 

• The Elliott Trail automatic road gate at Marben Farm Rd. closes for incoming traffic at 7 PM, so be prepared to enter the gate code if you arrive after that time.The gate opens automatically for outgoing traffic as you approach it to leave, so no code is required to exit. [Gate codes are issued to current members of the Atlanta Astronomy Club. Contact a CE officer or committee chair if you need help with this: http://ceastronomy.org/blog/home/officers.] 
• According to the Sky Safari astronomy app, the 8.5% moon sets on Jon Wood Field at 9:25 PM tonight. Sunset will be at 7:35 PM. Astronomical dusk ends at 8:58 PM with the Sun finally 18 degrees below horizon and "full darkness".
• All attendees are asked to maintain social distancing while on the field. Masks are strongly encouraged if you need to be closer than 6'.
