Join us at 7 PM for our regular monthly meeting, 6 PM if you are going to join us for the supper bowl.  The return of the much maligned Daylight Saving Time has shifted our meetings one hour into the future.

The presentation will be February episode of the BBC’s “The Sky at Night”. Bruce McMath will do the Constellation of the Month.  February’s The Sky at Night episode features show presenters Dr. Chris Lintott and Dr. Maggie Aderin-Pocock taking us to the Canary Island’s Roque de lost Muchachos Observatory where they take control of the telescopes to view a variety of deep-sky objects selected by the show’s viewers. Also, amateur astronomer and astroimager Pete Lawrence shows us how to observe the Apollo lunar landing sites from our own backyards.

If conditions allow, there will be observing afterward.

As always, meetings of the Central Arkansas Astronomical Society are open to the public.
