DATE CHANGE TO 10/22 Stargazing With The Northwoods Explorers at the North Lakeland Discovery Center

We will view Saturn with its ring system and Jupiter with a few of its moons through high-performance telescopes.  With good seeing, we hope to view the Eagle Nebula, the Small Sagittarius Star Cloud, and the Andromeda Galaxy with image-stabilized binoculars.  We will also show M13 - the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules, and M57, the Ring Nebula which is the remains of a star that blew away its atmosphere. We may have a great view of the Pleiades!

Program begins at 6:30 PM with an introductory program inside the Lodge, then stargazing 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM.  If the weather doesn't cooperate, we will extend the program inside the Lodge.

Attendees must register through the Discovery Center to reserve your spot.  The North Lakeland Discovery Center

White light flashlights are NOT allowed.  Please use red lights or cover your white light with many layers of red cellophane or a thick red balloon.  A white light shined into dark-adapted eyes is painful and may ruin a person's view for up to 20 minutes and they may miss something important!
