Star Party is ON tonight, Saturday February 22, at Caledon State Park.
It looks like it will be a beautiful evening for tonight’s Star Party at Caledon State Park. I hope to see many telescopes there tonight. The temperature is forecast to be in the 40s and upper 30s, so dress warmly. Sunset will be 5:54 EST. If you are a beginner, plan to be there early enough to set up before it gets dark. Venus and Mercury will be visible and look better in a telescope in daylight or twilight. After dark we will be viewing The Great Orion Nebula and other deep sky jewels, and watching to see if Betelgeuse blows up for us.
