After about 30 minutes, we will walk out to the school's north field, and we will help people make observations with the school's telescopes. This is designed for people who are astronomy curious from ages 8 through 80. We plan to end the evening by 7:00 pm.

We are asking that people register by e-mailing Tom Egan at tegan@maine207.org so we can contact interested persons in the event of inclement weather and cancellation.
