Time for another star party, now that the weather has improved for star gazing! Ah, dark, calm skies; no more raging Sun heating the Earth during the day and wreaking the seeing all night!
Meet at at The Damariscotta River Association’s Land Trust this Saturday, January 12, 2013, at 7:00pm:
110 Belvedere Road, Damariscotta, Maine 04543
Please respond to the usual Doodle poll asking who might attend on Friday or Sunday instead, in case the weather Saturday foils us:

Please note the new question on this poll, asking who could bring heavy duty, outdoor rated electrical extension cords in the standard lengths of 25, 50, or 100 feet. There is power available at the farm house, but the 100 feet of extensions Jon brings reach only about half way to where they are needed. Another 100 feet would be great!
Please bring telescopes, because the 14″ Schmidt-Cassegrain for which the pier was poured in November is not yet ready for use.
WARM HOUSE AT DRA
Remember, if you get cold at DRA, there is no need to leave early to get warm at home. CMAS has access to the heated headquarters of DRA, the attractive farm house just off the parking lot.
