We had so much fun on Monday that we are Sky Viewing again on Wednesday. Join Goldenrod Foundation and Jim Kundzicz at Nelson Park. We’ll have Astronomical Binoculars set up and ready to explore the Moon, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn, which are incredibly visible and beautiful right now – in addition to searching for other deep sky objects (such as double stars!)  as appropriate for this time of year.

Bring a folding chair, bug spray, your own binoculars, and even a cell phone camera for possible photos through the Binoculars.

While we’re at it, we can also view the osprey nest at the Park – and get a glimpse of what they are up to as night approaches.

Weather looks good for Wednesday. Hope to see you at Nelson Park! Look for us toward the north end within view of the osprey platform.
