We're going to try a little sidewalk astronomy tonight

We have a milky sky in Monrovia, but expect the moon to be visible at least most of the time. So we'll bring some telescopes out to Myrtle & Lime in Monrovia tonight, maybe with abbreviated hours, given the sky conditions. Our only telescope target will be the moon. Saturn is setting quickly in the evening twilight, and Jupiter rises just a little too late. There are a few isolated thunderstorm cells near San Bernardino and Riverside. If our site looks threatened when I check the radar at about 6:00, we'll call it off. So it's not a night to make a special trip to look through a telescope. Save that for next month, when we'll have Jupiter joining the moon. Mojo -- Morris Jones Monrovia, CA http://www.whiteoaks.com Old Town Astronomers: http://www.otastro.org
