Public Dark Sky Observing at John's Island County Park on Saturday

Weather permitting, the Lowcountry Stargazers are hosting a public observing night at their dark sky site. Observe Saturn, Mars, the moon, constellations, the Milky Way and deep-sky objects on a moonless night at one of the darker sites in the Charleston area guided by members of the Lowcountry Stargazers. Bring a flashlight; red cellophane will be provided to cover the lens.

Saturday, October 20th from 6:45-8:45pm at Johns Island County Park, AKA Mullet Hall Equestrian Center, 2662 Mullet Hall Rd, Johns Island, SC 29455. Drive past the main entrance to the trailhead entrance, and park near the fence at the far end of the field.

As always, these events are weather permitting so check back for any updates.

July Meeting

The Lowcountry Stargazers holds its monthly meetings on the first Thursday of the month at 7pm at Atlantic Aviation - CHS, 6060 South Aviation Ave, North Charleston, SC 29406. This may be a better representation of our meeting location. Because of Independence Day, our July meeting is on the second Thursday.

So, Thursday, July 12th, we will have our monthly meeting. And if you're like me and can't get enough of last year's solar eclipse, you'll love this month's presentation - 2017 Eclipse Across America Through the Eyes of NASA Star Gazers.

I hope you can join us!
