Night Sky At Pecos NHP
April 26 @ 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm MDT
Pecos National Historical Park is setting their next public night sky event for the evening of Saturday, April 26, 2025.
The second of our back-to-back outreach events this April is at Pecos National Historical Park on Saturday, April 26.
It’s a new moon weekend and spring is finally here, so it’s looking good. Pecos NHP has been a partner since our club began, and they’re always glad for us to help.
Time: 7:00 p.m. arrive to set up; 7:30 gates open to visitors. Sunset is 7:46 and there will be a ranger talk during twilight. We’ll be able to show bright objects (Jupiter, binary stars, etc.) starting around 8:30, and astro. twilight is over by 9:18. The event will end at 10:30, giving us a good amount of time for deep-sky objects.
Parking: As usual, we can drive to the observing field behind the Headquarters building to unload, then park near Headquarters. If you have to leave early, it’s best if you can avoid driving through the observing area before the 10:30 finish time.
If you expect to be participating and bringing some equipment, please let Albert know so he can give the Park a rough headcount. Final details, including weather cancellation protocol, will be communicated during the week of the event.
Clear skies —
