No Sidewalk Astronomy tonight, darn it! We thought those clous would
clear, but alas, it didn't happen.
If we reschedule for this month it could be next Saturday night with a
full moon, but the pretty planets Venus and Mars don't mind a little
moonlight.
In the meantime, here's my stargazing video for February in a couple new
formats.

The RV park we are observing the 2017 solar eclipse from is full except
for dry (aka tent) sites in a large area. We'll have a nice group of
folks from our Sidewalk Astronomers mailing list and some of the
astronomers too! Site Map

I'll be putting together tips for viewing the eclipse, and for those
staying here, tips to enjoy a beautiful partial solar eclipse!
That's all for now! Jane
