ASTRONOMY UPDATE (25 February 2009)

[Dennis Mammana]

What do Comet Lulin, the ringed planet Saturn and desert wildflowers all have in common?   

You can see them all right now from the Anza-Borrego Desert!  Join me this weekend (Feb 28/Mar 1) for a relaxing overnight campout under the stars.  Program includes telescope stargazing, tips on shooting the heavens with your camera & tripod, all camping gear, a delicious gourmet chuck wagon dinner, campfire & s’mores, full hot breakfast, and an exciting bonus tour through the spectacular badlands of the Anza-Borrego Desert.  Wildflowers are beginning to pop up as well!  All you need to bring is your curiosity and sense of adventure.  

 

IMPORTANT:  Registration closes at 6 p.m. on Thursday, February 26.
