Friday night we have two events at Houge Park. For directions see

********Beginner's Astronomy Class*************************
I will now be the lead for the "What's up in the Sky" portion of the class
and will be using an entirely new approach to the presentation. A new
scripted planetarium program will replace the PowerPoint. I hope that this
will give people a better idea of where objects are in the sky and will
teach people to find the constellations and the most visible Urban Objects.
The star chart for tonight's class is
