Stargazing on the Valles Caldera with Chick Keller, Steve Becker and Scott Watson 

Astronomers Chick Keller, Stephen Becker and Scott Watson bring a variety of telescopes for a magical night of astronomy watching the dark skies above the Valles Caldera. Expect to see Mars, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and maybe even Mercury.  The moon and Saturn will be very close in the sky. We will also look at non-solar system objects like double stars, star clusters, globular clusters, nebula, and galaxies. Telescopes available will include a 10' Meade Reflector, a homemade 12” Newtonian, and a 3” Galilean telescope, among others.

Warm up with hot chocolate and treats as the night ends.

Rain/cloudy skies date is September 28, 2014
