Mercury Transit Event at Chamberlin Observatory - November 11, 2018

8 Oct 2019 6:48 PM | July Candia

Hello All,

Dr. Stencil and I are planning a Mercury Transit Event at Chamberlin on November 11, 2019. We are planning to observe the transit with both the Alvin-Clark telescope and telescopes on the lawn. 

We need volunteers with with solar telescopes, some dome volunteers/certified operators, ticket takers, traffic flow at staircase, and a few people for observatory tours. We also need a keyholder to open up that day.

Start time: Set-up at 7:00 or 7:30 AM. Observing starts at ~ 8:00 AM.

      I'm a wait and see on this one. CCA may or may not want to do an event. If they do, I'll have to be there. However, if they decide not to, I I will try to come here.
