Star Party in the Fort Collins Area on (NEW DATE!) January 22

UPDATE: JAN 15: Due to clouds over Waverly, the Star Party is postponed until next Sunday evening, January 22.

A few weeks ago, I renewed my interest in stargazing on a cold, clear Colorado night. I was frustrated at my ignorance of the constellations and overall lack of knowledge of the skyscape, so I was excited to hear that the Northern Colorado Astronomical Society is holding a Star Party in a few weeks-- on January 15 (January 22 if the weather is bad). Sponsored by the Waverly (CO) Community Group, the gathering meets at the Last Resort Equestrian Center, 851 County Road 70 at 6 PM. A potluck dinner and presentation kick off the evening, and at 7, telescopes will be available for all to view the night sky. What a great idea. If you're interested, here's the email for reservations, directions, and more information: luannlresort@aol.com. Hope to see you there.
