Upcoming Observing Weekends
SCAN lets the group know of
upcoming weekends that can be conducive to darker skies for Deep Sky
Observing. SCAN usually observes at the SCAN observing site at Milepost
139 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Cahas Mountain Overlook. Observing
starts just after sunset on each respective night. Please be aware that
these are nights that have the possibility of SCAN members observing. We
WILL NOT be at all of these observing nights due to weather, or other
member responsibilities. If you want to know if we will be observing on
any particular night, contact us and ask.
