CAAS Members and friends
We had a busy July with a meeting at the CAAS property and two outings at Wooly Hollow and Pinnacle Mountain.
August won’t be far behind. For our regular meeting scheduled for August 11, we will have a star gazing and meteor gazing evening starting at 8:00 pm. Plan on staying late to see the Perseids, all night if you like. There is a new moon on the 12th so there should be plenty of good star gazing with and without a telescope before the Perseids get going good.
August 18 will be another star Party at Pinnacle Mountain visitor center. We will have a short business meeting at 7:00 pm at the visitor center. John Reed will host a Planetarium show using Stellarium from 7:30 to 8:30 and we will start observing at 8:30. We will have a nice 6 day old moon and Jupiter to keep us busy until the stars come out.

Join CAAS and our good friends at Pinnacle Mountain State Park for our first Moon Party! Normally we would shun the full Moon and stay home and watch some cheesy movie on the SciFi channel but not this time. Saturday we will embrace all things Lunar as we dare to look directly at the Moon. Google Moon may say it is made of cheese but we think not and if you want proof just come join us at the Pinnacle Mountain State Park Visitor Center on Saturday July 28 at 8 PM! Free Moon Pies while supplies last.
