Metcalf Field Trip on Friday

Post by sandconp »

I was just curious if the conditions are good on Friday at Metcalf and being that the Virgo event at Cherry Grove has been re-scheduled, would we be holding both the field trip and Virgo Event?

Hi Conrad,

As of now, the weather doesn't look good on Friday night for observing.

But I'll wait till we get closer to make my determination.
