Description

Treat your friends and family to an unusual evening when a member of the Sonoma County Astronomical Society will come to your home, neighborhood, or nearby hilltop and set up one or more telescopes for you and your guests to view the heavens. View dim nebula, galaxies, star clusters, and other deep sky objects as well as the bright planets Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, and the young crescent moon. A powerpoint presentation on your choice of astronomy topics may also be included. Includes dinner and wine for 8.

 

Special Instructions

Keep in mind that the best telescope viewing takes place under dark skies. Theefore somewhere away from bright house and street lights will provide for better viewing. Mr. Lynn Anderson, of the Sonoma County Astronomical Soceity, will help you to decide on a date that will avoid a bright moon, which can also interfere with the viewing of deep sky objects.
