One of my many favorite things about CFT is the stargazing. Last year’s sky was amazing to behold, and this year I’d love for us to have a more organized viewing and appreciation of those celestial bodies!
Telescopes, binoculars, red-lights, and star charts, show us what you got!
i would like to host a happening on this very subject, preferably more than one night!
I’m going to try to wrangle up some extra red lights, and see if i can’t spruce up my old telescope and tripod. I would GREATLY encourage others to bring a telescope, binoculars, and perhaps a favorite book (even farmer’s almanac) to help them find a cool celestial body they’d like to share with everyone during the viewing.
I’m considering trying to host them on friday and saturday night around blue camp, or a walk out some place without campers. I’d hate to disturb anyone, but I would like it to be a relatively easy place to get to so passers by can participate too.
We talked about doing this last time but never did so proper! Gotta make a point to get some real stargazing in. <3
Dog this would be a perfect happening, too!
Probably not a huge amount of light pollution out in the gravel parking area, and you could lay out a red ring on the ground to draw attention to your happening?
Don’t forget Google Sky!
oh crap, i totally had. this is a good suggestion!
This sounds amazing! I haven’t really done any stargazing since my parents used to drag me to the Oregon StarParty in the Ochoco Mountains.
It’s be a lot of fun to figure out where all of the weird constellations are again!
I never thought of this. Thanks for mentioning it.
I would love to do some stargazing at CFT.
I’ll definitely be bringing my binoculars and star chart again this year.
I can bring a small telescope, tripod and my binoculars, too.
