Hey Merle -

Just wanted to confirm that the Sept. 26th event was still on.
If so, is there a specific sign up or do we just show up?

Thanks,
Tim

Hello Tim,

That post is old...

Due to scheduling and the Fall Astronomy Day, the September BSIG observing session is moved up to Friday Sept. 25th. It will be back at Metcalf Nature Center.

I will be posting more about that later this week.

Thanks for reaching out!

Hi, I am new to the site and astronomy in general. I bought my first scope and would love to come to this event. Do I need to register somewhere?
