No sidewalk astronomy in Monrovia tonight

No Sidewalk Astronomy tonight, darn it! We thought those clous would clear, but alas, it didn't happen. If we reschedule for this month it could be next Saturday night with a full moon, but the pretty planets Venus and Mars don't mind a little moonlight. In the meantime, here's my stargazing video for February in a couple new formats.

We'll have a nice group of folks from our Sidewalk Astronomers mailing list and some of the astronomers too! Site Map http://www.idahodunesrv.com/map.php reservations: https://www.idahodunesrv.com/reservations.php?month=August+2017 I'll be putting together tips for viewing the eclipse, and for those staying here, tips to enjoy a beautiful partial solar eclipse! That's all for now!
