Lowell Observatory Star Party
We're planning a road trip next weekend to attend the Lowell Observatory Star Party down in Flagstaff, Arizona. To say we're excited would be quite an understatement. Four days under dark, clear (hopefully) Arizona skies should be incredible. As icing on the cake, we rented 90 minutes of observing time on the 24" Clark Refractor. This scope was used by Percival Lowell to study Mars. It should be incredible. A small bit of info in a confirmation e-mail they sent indicated that they've got eyepieces to power this scope to over 750x! Yikes!!
If you're planning to attend, the event runs Thursday 9/29 through Sunday 10/2. Regardless, you can expect a report to appear here shortly after my return.
