Night

Clear. Low minus 12
So, ensure you dress warmly, and particularly bring warm footwear.  I'll try to get out a little early to turn the heaters on.


If you're NOT bringing a telescope, please park on the south side of the parking lot.  If you require power, bring your own extension cord.




Here's what we'll be looking at:
The Moon
The Pleiades (M42)
Orion Nebula (M42)
Uranus


And I think Pallas reached opposition a couple of days ago, so we might try for that!
