Mojo and I were considering taking some telescopes out to Myrtle and Lime Streets Friday night for Halloween, but the forecast doesn't look good enough. In lieu of that, here is my annual Spooky Observing List, including scary named lunar features visible on the moon this week. http://jane.whiteoaks.com/2009/10/30/spooky-halloween-observing/ We are still going on with our twice-a-year Mojave National Preserve Star party, tho the forecast is for up to 18 mph winds, and temps dipping into the 30's at night. So bring layers for your layers. :-) Details here http://www.scribd.com/doc/242322077/Mojave-National-Preserve-Star-Party-Nov… The same day, over at the Kelso Depot within Mojave National Preserve is MojaveFest, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the California Desert Protection Act, which established Mojave national Preserve. The fest , 9-5 p.m. features food, kids activities, ranger-led talks and guided walks, book signings and dance performances. - http://www.nps.gov/moja/upload/Mojave-Fest-Flyer-for-web.pdf What a great way to experience Mojave National Preserve, with the preserve during the day, and they sky above the preserve at night!
