Public Observing

and continuing until 10:30.
Location: Carolina Beach State Park
Cape Fear Astro is excited to invite everyone to our first public observing session of 2021. Join us at Carolina Beach State Park to look at the moon, double stars, and star clusters using eyes, binoculars, or through telescopes. If you have binoculars or a telescope, bring them along. If not, you can share ours.
This viewing session will canceled if it is raining at the starting time.
Please take note: For safety and consideration to others, we ask that you refrain from using flash photography after dark. This includes cell phones. There are two reasons for this.
- Once a person's eyes are accustomed to the dark it takes several minutes for them to acclimate again. Eyes acclimated to the dark can see greater detail through our telescopes.
- A flash if seen directly through the eyepiece of a telescope could be blinding. While this blindness most likely will not be permanent, it is still quite painful.
Thank you.
