Andromeda Galaxy M31 — Brian Wolfe

Come to the CLAS dark sky site where telescopes will be set up to view deep sky objects such as galaxies, nebulas, and star clusters.

The site is south of Brown Road (Old Highway 395) south of Ridgecrest on BLM land. Traffic cones will be at the turnoff by 8:00 PM.

This is our second star party for the month of August.

Activity

Telescopes under dark skies

We will set up telescopes away from the lights of Ridgecrest, on BLM land south of the city. We should be able to see to view deep sky objects, such as galaxies, nebulas, and star clusters, that are hard to see under city lights.
