Rescheduled from March 14th.

Join us in the parking area at the Snow Mt. Ranch trailhead for a night of astronomical observation. We will bring several telescopes, but of course bring what you have as well! In fact, Sam and Zach will be on site early (6:30pm) if you want any help with your equipment before darkness falls.

Provided that there’s clear weather, observing should be great. It’s a wonderful time to view the sights in winter constellations like Orion, Taurus, Gemini, Canis Major, and more. Venus will be visible at sunset as well and is always a treat.

Important: Dress warmly! Night time temperatures will likely be at or below freezing. Layer up, wear hats and gloves, and bring something warm to drink.

This event is in conjunction with the Cowiche Canyon Conservancy (CCC). The CCC preserves and manages thousands of acres of open space in the Yakima Valley. Visit their website to learn more and consider making a charitable donation to support this important organization.
