For those who may not know, SLAS will be holding 2 public star parties this weekend. Tomorrow (Friday) evening at the 7th Street Harmons and Saturday evening at SPOC. Both to be held from unset to 11:00 p.m. And since it's Astronomy Day weekend, SLAS will be giving away loads of planispheres and holding drawings for telescopes and astronomy related books (maybe binoculars too but I'm not sure about that). Oh and since I hear Siegfried is out of town that may mean that finally someone other than his family members will win the drawings. LOL! "Advanced Training" (social hour) to follow both events. All of this is weather permitting of course but right now the forecast seems to be indicating the weather will permit. http://slas.us/displayevent.asp?EventID=1808 http://slas.us/displayevent.asp?EventID=1809 Clear skies, patrick
