CEA Observing Night

This is a club observing night pre-approved by the CE office.

Join us on Jon Wood Astronomy Field ( 33.468865, -83.735319 ) for a night of stargazing under the dark skies of Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center, weather-permitting. This event is open to the public - all are welcome. Bring your telescopes and binoculars (or just your eyeballs!) and come enjoy the night sky.  Be sure to arrive before 7 PM, as the Elliott Trail security gate prevents vehicle entries after that time.

Recommended arrival time is @ sunset. The Elliott Trail automatic road gate at Marben Farm Rd. closes for incoming traffic at 7 PM,   so be prepared to enter the gate code if you arrive after that time .The gate opens automatically for outgoing traffic as you approach it to leave, so no code is required to exit. [Gate codes are issued to current members of the Atlanta Astronomy Club. Contact a CE officer or committee chair if you need help with this:  http://ceastronomy.org/blog/home/officers .]  Visit our Facebook Page for updates and more info at https://www.facebook.com/groups/ceastronomy/ . There you’ll find a welcoming group of people sharing ideas and tips as well as organizing ad-hoc observing and imaging sessions on the Jon Wood Astronomy Field.
