LAST CHANCE MESSIER NIGHT(S)
Date March 25, 2023

Clear sky event, no indoor alternative
Current Forecast: Clearing 11:00 PM

Members and their guests are welcome to set up their own personal gear to observe from the amphitheater of the Ryan Observatory. This opportunity provides members with a secure dark sky location and practice with your equipment. With good conditions, we can see the Milky Way from the Observatory site. 

This is NOT our annual Marathon as we had a successful night last weekend. You are welcome to conduct your own personal marathon tonight.  The campground is open for those who wish to stay the night. Campsites are 1/2 mile from observatory in a wooded location with obstructed views of the sky.  Registration and campsite rental information link here.  

Please note there is no sleeping in personal vehicles at the observatory.

Dress Warmly! The observatories may be open depending volunteer participation but they are not a guarantee. The focus tonight is on observing with your personal gear.
