Sorry everyone, but based on the weather outlook, including the
torrential rain/flooding in southern California (Death Valley,
Highway 58, I-5 yesterday) and a dismal forecast for today through
Sunday, we are cancelling the Mojave National Preserve Star Party
slated for Saturday night. We'll reschedule in the spring. Take
care, stay safe and dry and we'll see you out under an urban sky
soon, if we have a telescope quorum, we may be out next Saturday,
Oct 25th, I'll let you know.
We're also cancelling a potential Monrovia Sidewalk Astronomy event
tomorrow night, as the local forecast is fog.
Flash Flood Watch through Sunday evening:
