Sidewalk and Astronomy Stuff in Early September

Caroline and I will be joining Old Town Astronomers in Monrovia (corner of Myrtle and Lime) on Saturday, September 6 for moon and Jupiter viewing. Old Town Astronomers will be in Pasadena (Colorado, near Delacey) on Friday, September 12. On both nights, anticipate set up around 7:30pm and tear down a bit before 10pm.

On Saturday, September 13 and Sunday September 14, the Pacific Astronomy and Telescope Show comes to Pasadena. Click on the link for more information. I’ll probably attend at least part of one day. But I’ll most be going as a spectator rather than as a participant. It’ll be nice to see all those vendors in one place, and maybe catch a talk or two. Also, on Sunday, there’ll be a celebration for John Dobson’s (father of sidewalk astronomy) birthday. He’s 93, I think.
