Mt. Wilson StarParty Event
Schedule

There will be two scheduled observing runs with the 60-inch at Mt. Wilson in this AstronomyEvent series. There is the possibility of being clouded out, but this is rare as Mt. Wilson has many clear nights with world-class seeing conditions. If we are clouded out, an alternate night will be given. There is, however, no refund for those who are absent during a successful observing run.
