Weekend Events

[Emilio Rivera]

Hey Stargazers,

This is going to be a very busy weekend leading up to the eclipse, and we're going to need some help. Here are the event plans:

Friday:

• Regular Chimney Rock event. Paid event for attendees. Tell them you're with the Four Corners Stargazers if you're helping, and you get in free.
• Regular SJC Planetarium event. Free for everyone. If any of you decide to go to help, just offer David help with stargaze afterwards.

Saturday: 

• Lemon Lake Star Party. We're meeting at the dam 7:30-8:30 as long as weather is decent. We may move to a different spot for better conditions if needed, so be there on time if you don't want to be left out.

Eclipse viewings on Monday at:

• Powerhouse
• Durango Public Library
• Ignacio Community Library
• Pine River Library
• Sky Ute Casino
• Farmington Museum
• San Juan College
• Chimney Rock

and probably a lot more

I don't know how many of you that are staying in town have solar scopes, but let us know if you want to set up somewhere. Let me know if any of you are interested in meeting up for a group event somewhere else. Also, let me know if there are more eclipse viewings I should list.

[Stephen Lewis]

Emilio:  Thanks for the update.  How long does the Chimney Rock event go for?  I plan to leave for Wyoming in the morning on Saturday for the eclipse.  I would like to go to the Planetarium event and the Chimney rock, if it isn't too late.  Can you give me the starting times?  What is the show at the planetarium?  Thanks.

The planetarium show is about the solar eclipse with show times at 6:30 and 7:30 with potential stargazing at 8:30.

Chimney Rock will need us there around 7:30, and we usually leave around midnight. You can leave whenever you'd like though.

Most of us will likely be at Chimney Rock this time around.

I’m going to Andrews lake Friday with the camera club.  I’ll come to Lemon Lake Saturday.  I live in the Hermosa area.  Any advice on where might be the best place for the eclipse Monday.   Will anything be visible from here?  Bob Hutson

I've had the Durango photography club on my calender for 5 years but they always have meetings on Thursdays. Is this the group you're speaking of?

I want to attend the Planetarium and CR, but can't be at CR at 7:30.  I'm good at setting my scope up in the dark, if that's OK.  I have an 8" SCT and a go to mount.  Thanks.

[jeff]

Same thing here. I'd go to both but they're always scheduled on the same day

Unfortunately, the CRIA needs us set up and ready before they send the crowd up at Chimney Rock, so we have to be there early. They probably won't let you up past then. 

It's too bad that the planetarium events have been scheduled at the same time these last few months though. Even if they had a bigger time separation, that hour and a half drive between them is a bit much.

[Emilio Rivera]

Hey Bob, 

The Sun will be 81.3% eclipsed here, so there's plenty to see as long as you have the tools to look at the Sun. Several of the places I've listed will provide glasses, but I'm trying to find out which of them will have full-on solar scopes. I'll let you know later if we have a group event for viewing it.

-Emilio

[R06caddy]

Yes. They are trying to do an outing each month.  I think the shift this month is because of the fair.  Last month they hiked about coal bank for wildflowers.  Last year I went with them for a milky way and arches shoot down near Aztec.

[jeff]

Do they ever hold the meetings any other day? Thursdays are out indefinitely.

[jeff]

Yeah, I wish they'd coordinate at least a little, to be on different days.

I plan to be at CR on Friday at 7:30PM.  I have never been there, is there anything I need to know?  How long to get there form Durango?  Thanks.

The meetings are on Thursdays.  Outings have not been not been on Thursdays.

I doubt they will do this but it would be nice if they had a council which tried to coordinate clubs.  Not sure you can do this with government organizations.  It seems one day I have 3 things to go to and the rest of the week none.
