    There is an astronomy outreach event at Eagle Bluff for the TUNE camp youngsters tomorrow night, Friday, June 26th. The event will start at sunset, of course, fairly late due to the summer solstice, the Moon will be 2 days pass 1st Quarter, but Jupiter and Venus will be low in the western sky, but still visible from the parking lot.

    We should be able to give the youngsters a good show. I will give them a tutorial on the Moon since I have completed both the Lunar 100 and Lunar II, Ellenvega plans to be there to show them the planets and the other "Obvious Stuff" and anyone else that can make it will be greatly appreciated.

    The CSC looks pretty good. I haven't been out in a long time and if anyone else gets the urge for some telescope time, come on out. If we have dew issues, Vidal will be in the house.

    Best regards to all, Dean.
