About the event
December 7th Saturday night at Wai-iti DSP will replace our December club meeting. A club night under the stars, BYO drinks and BBQ and a stay overnight is planned for those who would like to stay over. The night is intended to include NSS club members, partners, and children. Starts at 5:00pm, bbq 6-7, set up gear, star viewing from 9:00 to 10:00pm.
Members of the public may join us for the stargazing at 9pm.
Both Venus and the moon visible at twilight.
We may have to battle with a bit of cloud on Sat, but some viewing looks possible at this stage. (Frustratingly Friday looks great!) Because this is replacing a club meeting as a social event with star viewing added on as an extra, even if cloudy the social event with BBQ will go ahead, even if there are no stars to see, and club members can still camp…
