I thought you might like that. You're welcome!

Connect with your local or state astronomical group. I'm sure they've got a Facebook group like mine has. If I see more offerings I'll post them on this thread. They posted this one because they cancelled a local star party due to the pandemic.

Yes Jersey Girl. Please do. What is your state? (If it is okay to ask).

I heard a lot of good things about Colorado. I think it is on the top 10 states.

We love it here! We're also higher in elevation. I can see the Big Dipper right outside my back door every night framed by tall pines. Looks so close you feel like you could reach out and touch it and the meteor showers are divine! :-)

Hopefully we can meet in person when I visit Colorado.
