Deep Sky’s the Limit - Public Astronomy

Just noticed that the Tri-City Astronomy Club and LIGO are having a star gazing event this weekend.

I have not been active this past year with my telescope but if it does not conflict with anything else on our schedule I hope to take the kids. They love staying up late and the folks who man the telescopes are usually very informative.

Look through telescopes at distant treasures of the night sky: star clusters, nebulae, galaxies. Join the Tri-City Astronomy Club and LIGO for this dark-sky star gazing event!
