Heavy METUL Night #3: For your eyes only!

[Roger Hill]

With the Sun setting later and later, I thought we'd try for a Friday evening, so people can stay later if they wish.  I'll open the gates at 7:30pm, and we can convene at around 8 and I'll have hand-outs for the evenings viewing.

This night has a 5 day old Moon in the sky, with Orion sinking in the west.  Venus will be visible early on, with The Realm of the Galaxies coming once it gets dark.

The ETU folks can look for three of the 12 constellations they need: Ursa Major, Leo and Bootes, for instance.

The Leo Trio should be good, as well as M51 - the Whirlpool in Canes Venatici.  Some of the deep sky objects in Ursa Major, like the Owl Nebula could be visible, although the Moon may interfere early on.

As always, everyone is welcome. 

If you bring your own telescope, park on the north side of the parking lot (to your left as you drive in).Dress warmly, bring a clipboard, a couple of pencils, and one of those Canadian Tire headlamp
flashlights that has a red LED setting.

See you in the dark!
