ASTONOMY UPDATE (Nov. 20, 2009) CORRECTION

[Dennis Mammana]

Oops… my brain must still be out of town!   The Geminid meteor shower entry is NOW correct!  (see below)

03)    Geminid Meteor Shower Campout in the Anza-Borrego Desert   (Sat/Sun., Dec. 12/13)

Did you miss the Leonid meteor shower earlier this week?  Well don’t miss the Geminids—perhaps the best and brightest shower of the year!

Join me for a fun overnight campout and a fascinating tour of the spectacular desert night sky with both eye and telescope, as well a ring-side seat for the Geminid meteor shower during its peak that weekend.  And photography buffs will enjoy trying their hand at creating beautiful nighttime sky portraits with only camera and tripod.  (http://www.californiaoverland.com/overnight.html)  
Weekend includes exciting excursion into the Borrego Badlands with an expert guide and storyteller, all camping gear, gourmet chuck wagon dinner and full hot breakfast the next morning.  All you need to bring is your curiosity and sense of adventure!  You may, however, wish to bring along a reclining lawn chair and blanket to watch the meteor shower.
      
Advanced reservations are required.  For more information and registration, call Joe Raffetto toll-free at 866.6.EXPLORE or 760.767.1232, or visit online at California Overland Desert Excursions at http://www.californiaoverland.com/.
