Saturday, May 30th, 2009 Observing Session is a GO, GO, GO!

Tonight, at 9pm, we have a Star Party scheduled for The Nielson Observatory on Diagonal Road. Radar indicates clear skies through about midnight, so we will be holding the observing session.


Follow the signs for the Equestrian Center and look for the Observatory on the left when you arrive at the parking lot. (This is a weather permitting event.)
Before leaving home for any of the weather permitting events, please check this page for cancellation notices.
Also, at this time of year anything can happen weatherwise so don't be fooled by the warmth of the day. Temperatures can fall dramatically after the sun sets, although predictions are not indicating a huge drop tonight. To be on the safe side, bring a sweater, jacket, gloves, cap and coat. Then you can add or subtract layers to fit your personal needs.
The Nielson Observatory is located within the Lorain County Metroparks system off of Diagonal Road. Follow the signs for the Equestrian Center and look for the Observatory on the left when you arrive at the Equestrian Center parking lot.
The Observatory is manned by the membership of The BlackRiver Astronomical Society, who have been bringing Amateur Astronomy to Lorain County residents since 1949.
